Product Information

Full details

The Oxford Ultratorch Slimline LED Set is designed for cyclists seeking enhanced visibility on the road. Its key benefit is the bright COB LED technology that ensures you are seen by other road users, especially in low-light conditions. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it is rated IPX4, meaning it's resistant to splashes but not submersible.

FAQs

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

Runtime varies significantly by mode. On the lowest 'Eco Constant' mode, the F100 can last up to 12 hours, and the R50 up to 15 hours. On the highest 'High Constant' modes, expect around 2 hours of runtime for both.

Are these lights suitable for nighttime cycling?

Yes, the F100 front light (100Lm) and R50 rear light (50Lm) are designed to make you visible to others, including in dark conditions. Using the flashing modes can further enhance visibility.

Can I use these lights in the rain?

Yes, the lights have an IPX4 waterproof rating, meaning they are resistant to water splashes, making them suitable for use in rainy weather.

What is included in the set?

The set includes the Ultratorch Slimline F100 front light, the Ultratorch Slimline R50 rear light, one micro-USB cable, and silicone straps for attachment.

How do I change the lighting modes?

Short presses of the power button typically cycle through the different modes (e.g., High, Medium, Low, Eco, Flashing). Refer to the specific mode/runtime table for exact sequences if needed.

What is COB technology?

COB (Chip-on-Board) is an LED packaging method where multiple LED chips are mounted directly onto a substrate to form a single module. This generally results in a brighter, more uniform light output and better thermal management compared to traditional SMD LEDs.

Troubleshooting

Light not turning on

Ensure the light is fully charged. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds. Check if the low battery indicator is illuminated, indicating a need for charging.

Light not charging

Verify the micro-USB cable is securely connected to both the light and the power source. Try a different USB cable and power source. Ensure the charging port is clean and dry.

Intermittent flickering

This may indicate a low battery. Charge the light fully. If the issue persists, check the connection of the light to its mount and ensure it is secure.

Poor brightness

Confirm the light is not in 'Eco' mode. Charge the light, as low battery can affect brightness. Ensure the LED lens is clean.
