Product Information
Full details
The Exposure Trace Mk4 is an ideal choice for road cyclists and commuters seeking a balance between high-visibility safety and a minimalist form factor. Weighing only 35 grams, it offers a robust 360-lumen DayBright pulse mode to ensure riders remain conspicuous during daylight hours, though its 160-lumen maximum output for night riding is better suited for city streets than unlit rural trails.

FAQs
Can I use the Exposure Trace for mountain biking?
The Trace Mk4 is designed for road and commuter use. It lacks the lumen output and beam spread required for technical mountain biking at night.
How long does the battery last on the highest setting?
The light provides different runtimes depending on the mode. The 360-lumen DayBright pulse is optimized for efficiency, while the constant modes vary in duration; consult the manual for specific runtime-to-mode ratios.
Is the light waterproof?
Yes, it features an IP67 rating, meaning it is protected against immersion in water and is highly resistant to heavy rain and road spray.
Can I mount this on my helmet?
This model comes with a handlebar bracket; specific helmet mount accessories may be available separately through Exposure Lights.
How do I know when the light is fully charged?
The integrated battery indicator LED will change color or stop flashing to indicate that the unit has reached a full charge.
Troubleshooting
The light fails to charge when plugged in.
Ensure the USB-C cable is fully seated in the port and try a different power adapter or computer USB port.
The light turns off unexpectedly during a ride.
Check the battery indicator before leaving. If the light is fully charged and still shutting down, verify the unit is not overheating due to extreme external temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Trace Mk4 includes a round handlebar bracket designed for quick attachment and removal. To set up, snap the bracket onto your handlebars, secure it, and slide the light onto the mount until it clicks into place. For optimal longevity, ensure the USB-C charging port is kept clear of debris. After rides in particularly muddy or salty conditions, wipe the unit down with a damp cloth to maintain the integrity of the aluminum finish. Store the unit in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods, and check the battery indicator periodically to ensure it maintains a healthy charge.
