This comment refers to the cover and the other external metal parts of the Solar Jar. Especially when not properly and firmly zugedrehtem cover some moisture can upon contact with moisture, despite good sealing by a rubber ring, pass into the interior and in the worst case to the electronics in the lid. Unfortunately, the metal parts are not, as is often the case in Germany, totally rust free. If the electronics are defective but the container is still good to store food and quite an ornament :-)
An indication in this direction is already the manufacturer Consol® down very small on the packaging:
Avoid leaving in the rain = standing in the rain should be avoided
As you can see by my rating, I am of the lamp as a product out yet and am gone. From my family in South Africa has now long since everyone at least one solar jar. In restaurants the Solar Jar is very popular now as an alternative to traditional candle as table lighting. I myself possess 3 and 4 have been given away. In my view, an absolutely authentic as practical product.
Both the simple design, the extraordinary idea that environmental compatibility and suitability as a creative gift is a huge plus.

This review is from me October 2013 right in the main business of the manufacturer Consol® related goods in South Africa. If it is here, however, is to other models or varied products, I hereby apologize and please this comment as irrelevant to look at !!!
