The Solar Spark Lighter brings the ability to create fire to anyone, without the need of lighter fuel. This lighter will never run out and can be used anytime there is a decent light source and a small amount of a combustible substance to hand.

The Solar Spark Lighter works by focusing the light that hits it at whatever has been placed between the prongs of the fork attached to the center of it. This focused light is hot enough to start burning whatever combustible material has been put in the prongs, things like wood, bark, paper, even things like incense, or marshmallows!

The disk of the lighter is a parabolic mirror, it is this shape that focuses the light in such an effective way to help you create fire. It can cause the focal point, which is between the two prongs, to reach very high temperatures. This lighter is pocket sized, with a diameter of only 11.4 cm (4.5 in), the two pronged fork part can be folded down to enable it to be placed into a pocket or bag to be taken to wherever you will require it.

Because the Solar Spark Lighter has been constructed from stainless steel it is durable, able to handle harsh conditions yet still be ready to go as long as there is light, and something combustible. It may require polishing from time to time to keep the surface clean and able to focus the light to its fullest potential. This lighter is perfect for anyone with interests in outdoor pursuits like camping, or hiking.

The Solar Spark Lighter costs just $19.95 plus shipping.

I recently received a 2C Solar Cap to review, and I must say that I was very impressed with it. You’d expect it to be a silly gadget without any real purpose… but actually, it works perfectly for map reading at night. If you’re out hiking or camping, you usually need both hands free to do something, such as pitching a tent, cooking, or map reading. The 2C Solar Cap perfectly angles the bright white LED lights in front of you, making the cap very practical.

The cap is really well made, using a quality baseball cap, and a robust waterproofing for housing the electronics. There are 2 bright white LEDs, a large solar panel on the top of the cap, and a solid on/off switch to turn the lights on and off. The cap is as comfortable as any other good quality baseball cap. It certainly doesn’t feel like a low quality cap with a solar panel stuck on top.

Now you need to read the instructions for the other light modes, but there is also an SOS attention-getting mode, as well as the ability to adjust the brightness of the lights. For the SOS mode, you just push the on/off button twice. The lights rapidly flash in such a way that would easily grab someone’s attention. For the dimmer mode, you just push and hold the on/off button until the light dims to the brightness you want. Really easy, and really simple.

I really like the 2C Solar Cap, and although it costs $34.99, I can see why it’s worth that much. This is not a cheap or pointless eco gadget. The solar cap has genuine functionality, and I can see that it would be really useful when I’m camping. If you’re in the UK, you can get it for £29.99 from Solar Light Cap directly.

Thank you to Solar Light Cap for sending me one to review! It was a fun gadget to play with!

It’s probably just a little too cold in the UK to be considering going camping, but if you’re planning your spring camping holiday, then the PVC-Free Eco-Friendly Solar Camping Shower might just interest you. As far as eco gadgets go, the solar shower is really simple. Essentially the black colouring of the bag absorbs solar energy which heats up water inside the bag. When you want a shower, you have completely free heated water!

The water will not be super hot, but it will surprise you just how hot it can be. And the great thing is, you’re heating the water in a completely environmentally friendly way.

In addition to eco-friendly heated water, this solar shower has been designed to be completely free of nasty chemicals. The outer material does not contain chlorine, azo dyes, or PVC. And no heavy metals, dioxins or phthalates are produced during manufacture. Actually, if you were to burn the bag, it would only release carbon dioxide and water vapour!

Available for around $22, the shower is available in 2.5 gallon, 4 gallon and 5 gallon capacities.

The “Shit Box” is a wonderful trademark name, despite not being a product you’d chat about with your parents or other prudish family members. You’d need to be a fairly liberal individual to want to use the Shit Box, which is an eco-friendly portable toilet. All components are biodegradable, yet the toilet box itself is re-usable. Inside the toilet are special bags that will happily breakdown if left to compost.

The seat can hold an impressive 20 stone in weight and is designed to be packed up and carried around. I do wonder if the seat would smell after a while, especially if certain users were to “miss” when they use it. The price is also uncomfortably high. I’d expect a more reasonable price to be around the £10 mark. Nice bit of creative thinking though!
