The PNI Lighter 04 is a heavy-duty, highly versatile car accessory power distributor designed to expand a single standard vehicle dashboard outlet into four independent 12V/24V DC sockets and two dedicated USB charging ports. Engineered for truck drivers, family road-trippers, and daily commuters, this high-performance splitter supports a substantial combined power load of up to 120W. It allows you to run multiple demanding car electronics simultaneously, such as professional CB radio stations, GPS navigators, high-definition dash cams (car DVRs), radar detectors, FM transmitters, and portable coolers without overloading your vehicle’s electrical circuit.
For ultimate power management and safety, the PNI Lighter 04 features independent mechanical toggle buttons with bright LED indicator lights for each of the four output sockets. Rather than constantly plugging and unplugging your devices, you can easily control power delivery to each connected device with a single press, preventing parasitic drain on your car’s battery when the engine is switched off. The unit comes equipped with a generous 70cm heavy-duty copper connection cable, giving you plenty of slack to route the distributor cleanly along your center console, mount it under the glovebox, or secure it within easy reach of rear-seat passengers.
To safely charge your mobile devices, the adapter incorporates two high-efficiency USB 2.0 ports delivering a stable 5V / 1A output per port, ideal for smartphones, tablets, MP3 players, and other handheld USB-powered tech. Built with safety as a top priority, the internal circuitry of the PNI Lighter 04 is protected by an integrated, user-replaceable 10A glass tube fuse. This robust protection system shields your expensive connected equipment from sudden voltage spikes, electrical short-circuits, and thermal overload. Rated to operate across a broad temperature range from -26°C to +60°C, this rugged adapter is built to survive both freezing winters and intense summer cabin heat.
