The Nash Powerbanx Dome Lite Review looks at one of the most compact and convenient bivvy lights on the market…
The Nash Powerbanx Dome Lite is a lightweight, rechargeable bivvy light designed to make those late-night sessions and long stays on the bank that bit more comfortable. Compact and easy to hang, it offers multiple light settings and the convenience of USB-C charging — but it’s not without its flaws.
💡 Overview & Features
The Dome Lite features four illumination settings (1 white, 2 yellow, and 1 red), allowing anglers to tailor their lighting to any situation — whether you’re tying rigs, rebaiting, or just relaxing in your bivvy.
It also includes a memory function, meaning it will power back on at the same brightness and colour you last used — a small touch that makes a big difference during night sessions.
With IP65 water resistance, it’s safe to use both inside and outside the bivvy, and the included hook and carabiner make hanging it in place effortless. The USB-C charging port means it recharges quickly, typically in around 4 hours, using a power pack or car adaptor.

🧭 Real-World Use
After using the Dome Lite across multiple sessions, it’s clear that Nash aimed for practicality and convenience. It’s bright enough for all typical bivvy tasks and the yellow modes in particular create a warm, comfortable glow that’s easy on the eyes during long nights.
It also recharges quickly, making it ideal for short weekend trips or anglers who travel light.
However, the battery life could be better — in real use, expect about 3.5 hours of continuous light at higher brightness levels before it cuts out, often with no low-battery warning. The plastic housing also feels a little less premium than some competing models, which is a shame considering its price point.
✅ Pros
- Great light output and colour options
- Quick USB-C recharge
- Easy to hang and position in bivvy
- Water-resistant (IP65 rated)
❌ Cons
- Battery life under heavy use is shorter than claimed
- No low-battery indicator
- Plastic feels a bit cheap compared to competitors
🧠 Verdict
The Nash Powerbanx Dome Lite is a handy, affordable bivvy light that does exactly what you need for most short to medium sessions. It’s practical, bright, and convenient — though frequent overnighters may find themselves wishing for longer battery life and a sturdier build.
If you’re looking for a compact, easy-to-use light for your bivvy, this one will do the job nicely — just remember to keep a power bank close by for recharges.
