Why is every post you make -- exclamatory???

I know that I've seen sun and moon jars over at thinkgeek.com, but I doubt those are really high end.. .they always seemed more like novelties or garden ornaments.

Amazon and ikea sell two that show up on google for $10 and $20 respectively, but neither actually lists the luminosity of the LEDs they use.

Oh, like a camping lantern then. Well I guess you'd want some idea of how long it'll last without being charged and it might be nice to know how bright it is. Here's a guide to figuring that out.

Here's a lantern that supposedly lasts 10 hours and it has good reviews from owners.

Here's one that's a little more expensive but has better features and high reviews.
