SolLight Water Bottle with LED Light

The SolLight Water Bottle with LED Light is a 32-ounce water bottle with a waterproof solar panel, battery pack and powerful, long-lasting LED light built into the cap. The idea is to charge the cap in sunshine for 4 - 12 hours to get up to 12 hours of the white light and 16 - 18 of the dimmer red. The white light purportedly provides enough light to read by.

The red works as a bottle locator and night light with a lesser energy draw.

This water bottle is being marketed for day and night outdoor use--hiking, camping, boating, night-fishing or for emergency use in power outages. We think it sounds like a great travel water bottle for pets as well, with a light so you can see what you are doing after sunset on walks, in the back yard after dark, anytime you and your pet need water and light.

The batteries will actually charge in any light, overcast or even indoor, just faster outside in the direct sun. The water bottle has a wider mouth than a Nalgene, perfect for ice and easy cleaning.

Specifications: 32-ounce capacity, stands 8.25 inches tall and 3.75 inches wide and weighs just 11 ounces. It is made from unbreakable polycarbon and has a wider mouth than a Nalgene, perfect for ice and easy cleaning.
