Lumen Jar

The makers behind Lumen Jar

Lumen Jar began on a rainy Oregon coast when three friends kept buying throwaway camp lights that failed after one trip. They spent eighteen months in a Portland glass studio fitting a solar lid to recycled jars.

Lumen Jar about

Why we are crowdfunding

Glass we trust in the rain

Every jar is cut from recycled bottles and stress-tested in a cold-water soak before it ships.

Solar lid, no cable

The panel lives in the lid so backers can charge jars on a windowsill between camping weekends.

Named reward tiers

Each pledge tier maps to a real part number on our bill of materials, not a marketing label.
