The Travellife Sol Lamp is a rechargeable camping lantern that doubles as a power bank, delivering 170 lumens of warm 2700K lighting for up to 8 hours on a single charge. This compact lamp measures 20.6 x 13cm in diameter and features stepless dimming, allowing you to adjust the brightness precisely to your needs without cycling through preset modes. Built with an aluminium and PE construction, it balances durability with a lightweight design that withstands the demands of caravan, motorhome, and camping use.?

The 4000mAh lithium-ion battery charges via USB Type-C input at 5V/2A and provides USB-A output at the same rate, meaning you can charge your phone or other devices whilst camping. The IP44 rating offers protection against water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use in light rain or damp conditions, though it won't survive full submersion. The warm 2700K colour temperature creates a pleasant ambience rather than harsh white light, which is particularly appreciated during evening meals or when winding down in your awning.?

One consideration is that the 8-hour runtime applies at lower brightness settings, and you'll get considerably less time if running at full 170 lumens whilst simultaneously using the power bank function. The aluminium construction provides excellent heat dissipation for the LED components, though the lamp will naturally feel slightly heavier than all-plastic alternatives. Travellife has designed this lamp to complement their broader range of camping accessories, focusing on practical functionality at affordable prices for caravanners and campers.?

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Travellife Sol Lamp take to fully charge?
The Sol Lamp takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge using the USB Type-C input at 5V/2A. The charging time matches industry standards for 4000mAh lithium-ion batteries found in similar camping lanterns. You can charge it from a mains adapter, car USB socket, or portable power station whilst travelling. It's advisable to charge the lamp at least once every three months during storage periods to maintain battery health and prevent capacity degradation.
Can I use the Sol Lamp whilst it's charging?
Yes, the Travellife Sol Lamp supports pass-through charging, meaning you can use the light whilst it's plugged in and charging. This feature is particularly useful in caravans or motorhomes where you might want continuous lighting during the evening whilst keeping the battery topped up. However, charging will take longer if you're simultaneously using the lamp at higher brightness settings, and it's generally better for battery longevity to avoid using the power bank output function whilst charging.
What does IP44 waterproof rating mean for outdoor camping use?
The IP44 rating means the Sol Lamp is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. In practical terms, it will withstand light rain, condensation inside your tent or awning, and accidental splashes from washing up or drinks. The lamp is not designed for submersion in water or use in heavy downpours, so you shouldn't leave it out in torrential rain or drop it in a bucket of water. This rating is standard for camping lanterns and provides adequate protection for typical outdoor leisure use around caravans and campsites.
How many times can the 4000mAh battery charge my phone?
The 4000mAh battery will provide roughly one full charge for most modern smartphones, though actual capacity depends on your device's battery size and efficiency losses during charging. A typical smartphone with a 3000mAh battery will receive about 1.3 charges, whilst larger phones with 4500mAh batteries will get around 0.8 charges. Bear in mind that using the power bank function simultaneously drains the battery that would otherwise power the light, so you'll need to balance lighting needs against charging requirements during longer camping trips without mains hookup.
What's the advantage of stepless dimming over standard brightness modes?
Stepless dimming allows you to adjust the brightness gradually across the full range from 5 to 170 lumens, rather than being limited to three or four preset levels like low, medium, and high. This means you can set exactly the right amount of light for reading in your caravan without disturbing others, create subtle ambience during meals, or fine-tune brightness to conserve battery when you don't need full illumination. The smooth adjustment is particularly useful because camping lighting needs vary significantly throughout the evening, and stepless control lets you optimise both comfort and battery runtime without compromise.
Why is the Sol Lamp designed with aluminium and PE materials?
The aluminium construction provides excellent heat dissipation for the LED components, preventing overheating during extended use and maintaining consistent light output. Aluminium is also lightweight yet durable, resisting impacts and knocks that commonly occur during camping and caravan travel. The PE (polyethylene) diffuser creates the warm, even light distribution whilst remaining shatterproof if dropped. This material combination balances weight, durability, and thermal performance better than all-plastic alternatives, though it does make the lamp slightly heavier than basic plastic lanterns.
Is 170 lumens bright enough for camping and caravan use?
170 lumens provides adequate lighting for most camping scenarios including reading, meal preparation, and general illumination inside a caravan, motorhome, or tent. It's comparable to a 25-watt incandescent bulb and sufficient to light an area of approximately 3-4 square metres comfortably. The warm 2700K colour temperature is designed for ambience rather than task lighting, so whilst it's perfect for relaxing in your awning or lighting pathways, you might want a brighter torch or separate task light for detailed activities like cooking or repairs. The stepless dimming means you can reduce output significantly to extend the 8-hour runtime when you don't need full brightness.
Does the Sol Lamp have a battery level indicator?
Whilst Travellife hasn't specified LED battery indicators in the official specifications, most rechargeable camping lanterns with power bank functionality include some form of charge level display, typically through LED lights showing remaining capacity in 25 percent increments. The USB Type-C charging port usually features an indicator light during charging to show when the battery is full. If you're concerned about knowing exactly how much charge remains, it's worth checking before trips and topping up as needed, as the 4000mAh capacity provides a full 8 hours at lower brightness settings.
