I bought one from Amazon for £13 but it dosent seem to be working.
Ive left it out in the daylight and when I bring it indoors into a dark room,it flickers blue for a second or two and then nothing.
Am I doing anything wrong apart from possibly buying a dud one??

You describe yours as a moon jar, but I'm assuming (maybe wrongly) that's it's a solar light.
PS: You'll probably find it'll work a treat in June — when you don't really need it!
Ive had it outside for the past 4 days,at nightime I take it in and thats when it flickers on for a second or two,this is the type I have bought

Its a christmas present for my 4 year old godaughter who absolutly adores the moon for some unknown reason,the thought of having a little bit of moon in her bedroom each night she will absolutly love.
Thats if I can get the thing working:(
Maybe theres not enough sunshine,yes Im in Britain!
In the past I've been disappointed with small solar garden lights. They worked fine in the summer (when you didn't need them) but didn't do well in winter (when you did).
Your moon lamp looks pretty, but I'm not sure that it's ever going to work well in late autumn/winter. You could send it back and ask to try another one, I suppose, and maybe the replacement might be better, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Dont think my little godaughter would welcome me moving to Texas!!
I dont like the review on Amazon,should of read the wording properly.:(
I may send it back and try another but thinking about it maybe the sun isnt as strong this time of the year.
She would of loved a prezzie like this,now Ive got to look for something else "moon" related!
Yep oscar,tried that on day 3 but still with no luck.

It does seem to get pretty good reviews on Amazon, anyway.
Another picture.
Oh my Lord THATS BRILLIANT!!!
Ive never seen anything like this and it has a remote control,she,ll love this!!
Thank you soooooooo much Sigurd and I really mean thank you:)
Just read the reviews,she will absolutly love it,she,ll really really love it,thanks!

They're generally favourable, but it does get through batteries pretty fast, it seems.
Small price to pay,shes already costing us a fortune in batteries for everyone of her toys!!:D
This will be a great present for her,she insists that the moon looks after her at night when she is in her bed,and she dosent like it when its cloudy at night because she cant see the moon.
Isnt it funny what goes through little ones minds?Im so chuffed Sigurd.:)
I wonder if Amazon has one.
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather go to earth!
My son has one of those. Its very effective!
