Here's how. - Author: The Volt Team - Tags: article, SOUNDBOKS, For Festival Goers BoogieBeam is Volt's camp party light: an octagonal LED unit you strap to a pavilion or wear on a cap, with color modes to set once the sun goes down. It runs on its own charger, not a swappable battery, so you top it up daily at a Volt point using a Volt charger. That single difference is also why it is not part of SOUNDBOKS Battery Swap. ## What BoogieBeam is BoogieBeam is Volt's camp lighting piece: an octagonal LED unit built to strap onto a pavilion or clip onto a cap, with color modes you set yourself. It was photographed heavily across Roskilde's camping areas in 2026, where Volt's own case study describes it as "the camp-canopy party light seen widely across Roskilde's camping areas." [Read the Roskilde case study](https://resources.getvolt.dk/case-studies/roskilde-festival-case-study/) On the live [SOUNDBOKS service page](https://resources.getvolt.dk/services/soundboks/), Volt groups BoogieBeam with SOUNDBOKS rental, SOUNDBOKS Battery Swap and Soundlock as part of the camp sound and light setup. That is a deliberate grouping, not an accident: BoogieBeam is classed as Festival Gear, the same family as SOUNDBOKS. It is not Camp Gear, which at Volt means tent and camping-kit rental. If you are looking for tents rather than a party light, that is a different [Camp Gear](https://resources.getvolt.dk/services/camp-gear/) page entirely. ## How BoogieBeam charges BoogieBeam runs on its own built-in charger rather than a battery you swap out. When it runs low, you take it to a Volt point and top it up using a Volt charger, the same daily habit as keeping a phone alive on site. There is no swap package or spare unit involved: one BoogieBeam, charged where you can reach a Volt point, as often as it needs it. That daily top-up is not a minor detail on a multi-day site. Volt's Roskilde case study notes that an eight-day format needs a swap or top-up mechanic for a powerbank, a SOUNDBOKS battery, or a BoogieBeam charger alike, "because no single overnight charge realistically lasts the whole event." Plan for BoogieBeam the way you plan for your phone: a quick stop at a Volt point, not a one-off charge before you leave home. ## Why BoogieBeam isn't part of Battery Swap SOUNDBOKS Battery Swap exists to solve a different problem: trading a drained SOUNDBOKS Gen4 battery for a fully charged one at a Volt Recharge Zone, in packages sized to the length of your stay. It works because the SOUNDBOKS Gen4 battery is a physical, swappable unit that can be handed over and replaced on the spot. BoogieBeam does not have that kind of removable battery to trade. It has its own charger, topped up in place, so there is nothing to swap and no Battery Swap package covers it. Booking a Battery Swap package for your SOUNDBOKS does not add BoogieBeam charging to it, and BoogieBeam does not draw down your swap allowance. They sit on the same page and in the same camp setup, but they run on two different mechanics. | Item | Charging mechanic | Covered by Battery Swap packages? | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | BoogieBeam | Own charger, topped up daily at a Volt point | No | | SOUNDBOKS Gen4 battery | Drained battery traded for a full one | Yes, that is the service | ## Frequently asked questions Is BoogieBeam a SOUNDBOKS accessory? No. BoogieBeam is a separate piece of gear. It is listed alongside SOUNDBOKS rental, Battery Swap and Soundlock on Volt's SOUNDBOKS service page because they cover the same camp setup, but BoogieBeam is its own product with its own charging mechanic. Do I need to swap a BoogieBeam battery? No. BoogieBeam is not built around a swappable battery. It runs on its own charger, which you top up daily at a Volt point using a Volt charger when it runs low. Is BoogieBeam part of Camp Gear? No. At Volt, Camp Gear means tent and camping-kit rental only. BoogieBeam is Festival Gear, grouped with SOUNDBOKS, Battery Swap and Soundlock on the SOUNDBOKS service page. Where has BoogieBeam actually been used? It featured heavily across the camping areas at Roskilde Festival in 2026, documented in Volt's own Roskilde case study alongside the site's charging, locker and SOUNDBOKS Battery Swap setup. --- **BoogieBeam is part of Volt's Festival Gear lineup**, alongside SOUNDBOKS rental, Battery Swap and Soundlock. See the full setup on the [SOUNDBOKS service page](https://resources.getvolt.dk/services/soundboks/), or read how it all came together on site in the [Roskilde case study](https://resources.getvolt.dk/case-studies/roskilde-festival-case-study/). Keeping the speaker itself secured overnight is a separate job; the [Soundlock explainer](https://resources.getvolt.dk/articles/how-do-you-stop-your-speaker-being-stolen-at-a-festival-the-soundlock-explained/) covers that half of the camp setup.
