I find the light in these to be weak, i.e. barely visible in a clear jar, and it is that cool LED type light so it would probably be better in a blue jar. They fit standard size mason jars (NOT widemouth) but some do not fit well. Acceptable purchase at the sale price but I have other solar lights I prefer.

Love these, and so do our grandkids who take the jars to bed as a beautiful under-the-covers nightlight. I put a couple on the stairway each night as we go to bed, as well.

By "standard lids" do you mean small mouth mason jars? I've been looking for a "large mouth" solar lid. Can't find them.

I notice that only one "reviewer" (B. Johnston)has stated that the lids don't fit standard canning jars perfectly ... but I don't see anyone else mentioning this. Do they fit standard canning jars, or not?

Hello interested in your moonshiner lids for craft projects

I purchased one called a Magic Fairy Jar from a gal. She filled it with iridescent tissue paper that reflects the light. She decorated the outside of the jar with gems and a handle so that you could hang it from a J-hook in the garden. I absolutely love it. It lights up perfectly as long as it gets sunlight during the day. I wish that I could submit a picture so you could see how beautiful it is.

I agree with you-Cynthia stewart

Yep I know what you mean we live in the mountains of Western NC.

They will work inside after charging solar panel...tho description said it comes with a AAA rechargable battery. My solar stuff with battery works on just battery alone, not sure about this one, you could call. Also...I have *** Full Spectrum *** light bulbs that DO light the charging light on my solar stuff. These are not " sun bulbs "...they Must be full spectrum. A Gro-bulb Might work. I'd call about battery...does it work alone ???

as long as you RECHARGE the solar part IN the sun, they work great...but remember solar means IN the sun! :)
