From the maker
Stronger, Faster, and Brighter: this is the Alpenblow Lux! At only 13.7 grams (0.5 oz), the Lux gives you all the benefits of other, heavier pumps with a fraction of the noise & weight.
What's new:
2x faster inflation compared to the original Alpenblow Classic
80% more pressure compared to the original Alpenblow Classic
Dual reading lights for a cozy tent ambiance
Deflation port for faster camp breakdown
1/2 the energy usage per inflation compared to the original Alpenblow
While the original Alpenblow was made to be as-light-as-possible for UL pads, the Lux allows itself a few more grams to be the best all-around pad inflator: supporting thicker pads & extra tent illumination.

FAQ:
How do I activate the light and other modes?
While the fan is running, just press the triangular logo
How do I turn the fan or light off?
Just unplug the Alpenblow Lux!
Can this be used with vacuum packing bags?
Unfortunately no, the negative pressure is sufficient to pull air out, not to compress clothing
Can I use the Alpenblow Lux with existing adapters I bought?
The Lux uses the same interface as the original Alpenblow, so they can share adapters or accessories
Is this product 3D-printed?
None of the Lux's components are printed, only the Lux Leash and some of the separately-purchased adapters use additive manufacturing
How do I stop my power bank from automatically turning off the lamps?
Some power banks turn off when the power draw is too low: press and hold the button for 3 seconds to enter a "defeat" mode where the fan quietly spins to draw sufficient power to defeat the auto-shutoff feature. Most phones don't have the feature so you can use that instead.
My INIU power bank isn't working with it over USB-C?
I'm addressing this issue with a new circuit board revision, if you have this issue please let me know! The Power Delivery negotiation with some specific INIU models isn't working, you can use USB-A to USB-C to work around or power via smartphone.
This product is molded & assembled in California. A USB-C cable is not included to reduce e-waste.
