Power banks are everyday carry essentials for digital nomads, students, and those who rely on their mobile devices for work or play. They are also handy during outages or blackouts. Solar power banks market themselves for off-grid use, but they mostly run on traditional solar panels that need hours of direct sunlight to reach their full potential. Not the Lumacore Qi2 Power Bank, which self-recharges with any light. 

It quietly charges in the background, whether placed outdoors or indoors by a windowsill or beside a lamp. It uses Alpha Glass technology that harvests electrical energy from any light source: sunlight, office lamps, and even ambient light on cloudy days. Unlike silicon panels that react in direct sun, the perovskite-based light-harvesting Alpha Glass layer responds to multiple light sources.

Lumacore captures usable energy from any light at a fraction of the weight of its silicon counterpart. It harvests across a wider spectrum and stores the energy using a smart Battery Management System (BMS) built for Alpha Glass. The BMS also protects the power bank from overcharging and over-discharging. It even offsets self-discharge so it stays ready whenever you need it. 

Lumacore packs a 5,000 mAh battery in its slim, lightweight design. It offers auto-aligning 15W magnetic wireless charging and up to 20W USB-C output to fast-charge phones, earbuds, and other devices. It also supports 18W USB-C input power. Its robust shell, crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, withstands drops up to 1.2 meters and features a soft-touch finish for a premium handfeel.

Conveniently, Lumacore is UN 38.3 certified-safe to store in carry-on luggage during flights. It supports dual recharging: via the light and by plugging it into the local grid using the USB-C cable.
