Power Ranger
Electrical outlets rarely line up with where you want to add accent lighting to brighten your exhibit, but thankfully Display Supply & Lighting Inc. has solved this logistical headache with its Mobile Power Center. This roughly 7-by-4-inch battery pack weighs just 20 ounces and is perfect for 12V, 16V, and 19V low-power lights. Its 23,400 mAh lithium ion battery fully charges in approximately four hours and has enough juice to power either two surface mount puck lights or 6 feet of standard output LED tape for 10 hours. An LED gauge displays the unit's current level of charge, and a USB port allows it to do double duty as a discreet charging station for booth staffers' mobile devices. Meanwhile, internal protection circuits safeguard sensitive electronics against damaging power surges and over discharging.
