How long does it take to charge the Nebo Tempest 500?

What is the maximum runtime on a single charge?
The maximum runtime is up to 96 hours when using the 360° Eco mode (12 lumens).
Can I use the lantern while it is charging?

What does IPX7 mean?
IPX7 indicates that the lantern is protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Does the lantern remember the last used light mode?
Yes, the Tempest 500 features Memory Recall, which allows it to turn back on at the previously used brightness setting.
How do I activate the red light modes?
Typically, you would press and hold the power button to cycle through modes, or there might be a specific sequence for direct access. Refer to the manual for exact activation.
What is the warranty period for this lantern?

Troubleshooting
Lantern does not turn on
Ensure the lantern is fully charged. Check that the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the lantern and the power source. Try a different USB-C cable and power source.
Light output is dim or flickering
The battery may be low; recharge the lantern. Ensure the lens is clean. If flickering persists, contact customer support.
Water ingress detected
Although rated IPX7, avoid prolonged submersion beyond its rated depth or pressure. If water is detected, immediately dry the unit thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before attempting to use it. Inspect the seals for damage.
Magnetic base not holding securely
Ensure the magnetic surface is clean and free of debris. The surface must be ferromagnetic (iron or steel) for the magnet to adhere effectively.
