If you want to pack lighter on your next camping trip without sacrificing comfort, OUTZAC has engineered a clever two in one tool.

By combining a powerful air pump and a bright tent light into a single ultralight device, it saves precious space in your pack while making campsite setup effortless.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator BEAM PUMP The Backpacking Pump Lantern by OUTZAC.
What It Is The BEAM PUMP is a highly compact outdoor gadget. It functions as both a powerful electric air pump for your sleeping gear and a fully capable LED tent lantern, weighing a mere 2.7 ounces (78 grams).
KEY FEATURES
Ultralight and Compact Weighing just 78 grams, the device is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, minimizing the bulk in your backpack.
Rapid Inflation It delivers 300 liters per minute of airflow and 5 kPa of pressure. This allows it to fully inflate a standard sleeping pad in roughly 40 seconds.
Universal Compatibility The pump includes six interchangeable nozzles to ensure a hands free fit across major outdoor brands like Therm a Rest, Sea to Summit, Exped, Big Agnes, and Nemo.
Adjustable Lantern As a real tent light, it outputs up to 300 lumens. It features four distinct brightness levels (6, 60, 160, and 300 lumens) so you can easily switch between reading in your tent and lighting up the entire campsite.
Long Battery Life The built in battery provides up to 50 hours of continuous lighting on the lowest setting.
Quiet Operation and Extras It operates at a low 65 decibels to maintain a peaceful campsite. It also features a fire assist mode for stoking flames and a vacuum compression mode to shrink your packing cubes by up to 85 percent.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing Early backers can secure the BEAM PUMP at discounted campaign prices, which includes an exclusive two year warranty for Kickstarter supporters.

CONCEPT
The core concept is Carry One, Do Both. The creators at OUTZAC believe that outdoor gear should be smart, reliable, and space efficient. By merging a crucial lighting tool with a fast inflation device, they aim to give backpackers and campers a hassle free way to set up their sleeping arrangements without packing multiple single use items.
INSPIRATION
The project was inspired by the common frustrations of setting up camp after a long day of hiking. The founders of OUTZAC, having years of experience in industrial design and supply chain management for outdoor gear, wanted to launch their own brand focused on gear that goes beyond limits. They realized that hikers were tired of manually inflating sleeping pads or carrying heavy external pumps, so they designed an all in one solution to bring effortless comfort to the wilderness.
