3. Sonnenglas makes a solar light reviewers absolutely swear by for camping, entertaining, and outdoor lighting — and it gives back to a worthy cause!

Amazon

Impact: The handmade solar-powered light jar is made by Sonnenglas, a startup company in South Africa that employs over 60 previously unemployed people from the townships, and promotes their training and education. Sonnenglas was designed as a source of light for parts of Africa with no access to the power grid, and is made of recycled materials.

Promising review: "This is the third Sonnenglas solar light we've ordered. We have a small cabin in the woods off the grid. Lighting is an ongoing problem. Battery lights, if you hang them, have no down-light; and just when you need them, the batteries have gone dead. Kerosene and gas lamps represent a fire hazard when children are around. These solar lights are perfect. They shine more downlight than one might think; they are very well-engineered and well-made. We will buy more over time. We've tried others with a similar concept — they don't hold a charge, and the on-off mechanism seems to never work. Love the Sonnenglas — you will too." —cbinpa
