Matt__MemberQuick question about the MozzDefense – I know it says USB-C charging, but does it work with any random USB-C cable or does it need the one in the box? I tend to lose cables all the time, so I’m hoping I can just use one of my phone chargers when I’m traveling.

MemberHonestly, any USB-C cable should work fine. I’ve used random ones from old phones and stuff without any issues. It’s a pretty standard port, so I wouldn’t stress about keeping track of the one it came with.

JSmithParticipantMost USB-C cables will do the job. I’ve plugged mine into a standard phone charger and it charged up fine. The included cable is nothing special, so losing it isn’t a big deal.

Ryan__TMemberProbably. USB-C is pretty standardized at this point, so any decent cable should get it going. I wouldnt overthink it too much, just grab whichever one is closest and see if it charges. If it does, youre set.

MemberAny USB-C cable will charge it. It’s not like they put some weird proprietary port on there. I’ve used whatever cable was lying around and it’s been fine.

MemberMost USB-C cables are fine with these types of devices. The port is pretty standard, so I wouldn’t overthink it. If it charges your phone, it’ll probably charge this too.

MemberI feel like any USB-C cable works here, but I do wonder if the slower ones just take a bit longer to get it full. I have a habit of grabbing whatever is next to my couch and it seems to top up fine, just not super fast. Probably not a big deal unless you are in a hurry.

MemberI’d imagine any standard USB-C cable works, not just the one it comes with. That’s usually how these things go. I’d just make sure the cable isn’t super old or damaged, but other than that you’re probably fine to use whatever you have on hand.

MemberI wouldn’t stress about it. If you’ve got a USB-C cable that works with anything else, it’ll probably charge this thing too. I mean, it’s not like they engineered some fancy port just for this light.

MemberHonestly, I wouldn’t worry about it. USB-C is pretty much USB-C at this point. I’ve charged mine with the cable from my e-reader and also with a random one I had in my car, and it was fine both times. I think as long as it’s not some super cheap gas station cable, you’re good. It just takes a couple hours to fill up anyway, so even if it charges a bit slower with a different cable, you’ll barely notice. I wouldn’t go out and buy a special one just for this. I’d just grab whatever’s lying around. It’s not like these little gadgets have some secret charging requirement. You’re overthinking it, just plug it in and see.

MemberI think any USB-C cable will be fine, honestly. These things are pretty universal now. I’d just grab whatever’s lying around and not worry about it too much.

Tom W98MemberUSB-C is USB-C. If it fits and the charger actually outputs something, it’ll charge. I’ve used the cable from my headphones and an old phone charger on mine, no problem. The included cable is probably just a cheap basic one anyway, so losing it isn’t a big deal.
3 de August de 2026 at 10:37 #6384Alex Miller
MemberYou’re probably overthinking it. I’ve swapped cables around with mine a bunch and never had an issue. If it fits and isn’t some super cheap broken wire, it’ll charge. Maybe not as fast as the included one, but it’ll get there.

MemberI think people are making this more complicated than it needs to be. Any decent USB-C cable should do the job, I wouldn’t overthink it.
3 de August de 2026 at 12:42 #6391
Luis_A91MemberCan’t imagine it being that picky about cables honestly. I’ve charged plenty of gadgets with whatever USB-C cord happens to be in my bag and never had a problem. Worst case you just leave it charging a bit longer if the cable isn’t great.
3 de August de 2026 at 13:21 #6394
emily_rParticipantI would not assume that just because it has a USB-C port it will work with every charger you own. Some devices are picky about the cable or the power output, especially if you grab one of those really thin charging cords that only do data. I have had gadgets that refuse to charge unless I use a specific cable, so I would just keep the one it comes with in your travel bag.
3 de August de 2026 at 14:09 #6397
Mike in TXMemberIt’ll charge with whatever USB-C cable you’ve got. I wouldn’t overthink it. The port is pretty standard, so as long as the cable isn’t totally dead, you’re good. I’ve used random ones around the house with mine and it tops up fine.
3 de August de 2026 at 14:58 #6400
d4nielParticipantI’ve charged mine with a few different USB-C cables I had lying around and it’s been fine. Any standard one should do the job.

MemberI’d say don’t stress too much about it. USB-C is pretty universal at this point, and I’ve used the cable from my phone charger on this thing without any drama. The only time I’ve ever had issues with USB-C stuff is when the cable itself is super old or damaged, but any normal one should be fine.
That said, I get the worry because some devices are weirdly picky, but this one seems pretty standard. I’ve even left the included cable at home before and just grabbed whatever was in my bag. It charged up fine, just took a bit longer than I expected maybe. Nothing crazy.
I think you’ll be okay using whatever you’ve got lying around. If you’re really worried, maybe keep the original one in your travel bag just in case, but I wouldn’t go out and buy a special cable or anything.

Carla82MemberPretty sure you’re fine using whatever USB-C cable you have around. These things all use the same basic charging standard, so unless the cable is completely busted it’ll charge. I’ve used random phone cables for plenty of similar gadgets and never had an issue.
3 de August de 2026 at 17:15 #6409
Susan KennetMemberProbably. I mean, USB-C is pretty much USB-C at this point, so I’d be surprised if it demanded some special cable. I’ve got a drawer full of them and I usually just grab whichever one’s closest when I need to charge something. Also, if you lose the one it comes with, it’s not like it’s some weird proprietary plug.

Does the MozzDefense repel mosquitoes or just keep bugs away from the light?
