Mason Jar Solar Lanterns to Light Up Your Night!

Are you ready to light up your nights? I’ve found the most adorable mason jar solar lanterns that can be used both indoors and out. These are my favorite go-to lanterns due to their durability and ease of use. No electricity needed! Just the power of the sun.

SONNENGLAS mason jar solar lanterns are produce in South Africa, originally developed for people in areas without electricity. I love the background story, and I love that the lanterns are sustainable and eco-friendly.

The jar lids contain four solar-powered LEDs. It’s amazing how bright they are!

Set the mason jar lanterns out in the sun during the day and enjoy hours of solar light at night. To light the lanterns, flip the magnetic handle up so the round magnet touches the lid.

The lanterns provide up to 12 hours of light when fully charged.

You’ll most likely use the mason jar lanterns outdoors, but I added them to my earthy table setting (that I featured earlier this week) in lieu of candles.

I think they look beautiful whether you use them indoors or out. They can sustain the harshest of weather conditions, too.

  1. Exciting to read about how people in other countries are being empowered with solar lights! Thanks and please enter me in the drawing.

  2. They are lovely and the photos make me dream of summer entertaining (with our -10 temperatures outside right now)! Thanks for a chance at your giveaway <3

  3. I kept all of the canning jars from my Mom’s to use for candles outside. These would be great, and perfect for in the camper!

  4. Oh, they are farmhouse adorable!!! Love anything that uses mason jars as its foundation; fine myself using those quite a bit in decorating. LOVE THESE!!!

  5. Love them lanterns.
    How romantic these lanterns would be sitting outside by a firepit for a family gathering, etc. or even when the power goes out; No looking for a flashlight. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway opportunity

  6. I like anything using mason jars. These are so cute and would be great to light the hallways during the night. Thanks for sharing and giving us a chance to win them.

  7. I find more and more solar powered items available and am happy to see them. You said that these were from South Africa and that I find truly wonderful. I visited SA several years ago and found it to be one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. But along with that beauty is also some poverty I’ve never seen before. Much of the country is dry and barren and I can see where solar power could be used to assist those living without electricity! Bravo to all of those who work to devise ways to harness free power, especially useful in area where there is none!!!

  8. I would love to have the lanterns for my front porch and enjoy the evening air and great conversation! Thank you for this opportunity😊

  9. I am obsessed with solar lights but haven’t seen anything as cute as these! Thank you for bringing them to our attention. BTY, love your blog.

  10. Love themason jar idea. I often use mason jars for gift containers…cocoa mix, spiced tea and Hershey Kisses on Valentine with a red ribbon. Love you fun ideas.

  11. Yes, they are bright. I have used a glass building block and placed a set of Christmas lights inside. Looked great but got too hot. I live on the coast and got this huge glass jar that I stuffed with layers of shells and sea glass that I found on the beach. I used strands of mini lights and it looked very cozy. But it was so heavy I could barely move it. Now, with one of your mason jar lights I could move it around! Thanks for the giveaway. You always keep us entertained.

  12. I would love to have these to put on my back fence in my yard. I have lots of plans to make my yard an inviting place to spend time and this would be a great addition to my plans.

  13. Checked out Sonnenglas website because I would love to have bought them for a lady who needs help with her living expenses. She had a stroke and living on less than $900 a month. Her son lost use of his kidneys and lives with her. I know she would love these because she loves country!! She has been retraining herself to do country crafts from items people throw away, “dipsty Dumper Days” These are a little costly to purchase but would be great for low income familites. Maybe a great fund raiser if could be purchased cheaper in bulk.

  14. Thanks for the opportunity to enter and win one of these delightful solar jar lights. I can see how they can easily fit into an inside or outside décor for years of decorating fun! Good luck, everyone!

  44. I just love the idea of mason jars being repurposed! What a great use of solar power, and more importantly, that they are being used and produced in South Africa for those without electricity.

I am wishing myself luckxoxo

  46. Thank you for sharing all you do. Great ideas. Would like to use these solar lights on the porch and camping this summer😎

  47. Because I worry a lot about fire–especially with a new puppy and several rambunctious dogs and curious ponies–we have reluctantly stopped using candles outdoors. (And indoors for the same reasons, except exchanging curious cats for curious ponies!). These solar lanterns are a wonderful discovery. I’d be thrilled to win this giveaway and am Pinning this to follow up even if I don’t–they are very Wish List-friendly. 🙂

  48. I’ve been switching over so many components to become more eco-friendly and sustainable, from growing herbs to paperless towels, using glass reusable storage and foregoing plastic. The condition of the environment is something I’m also concerned about and looking for ways to reduce my footprint. These would be a great addition for night time lighting in my home as I find myself carefully walking in the dark if I wake during the middle of the night

  49. Can never go wrong with Mason jars, and especially as lanterns!! Love the idea and the look! Can’t wait to see if I win!!
