FAQs

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

Can I use this light on other bikes?

No, this light is specifically designed with a unique bracket for Brompton bicycles and will not fit other brands or models.

How do I know when the battery is low?

A useful LED button on the light unit will light up when the battery level is below 20%.

How long does a full charge take?

A full charge takes approximately 6 hours from empty.

Do I need to remove the light when folding my Brompton?

No, the light and its bracket are designed to stay attached and not interfere with the folding process of your Brompton bicycle.

What type of cable is included for charging?

A Micro-USB cable is included for recharging the light.

Can I attach my Brompton front bag with the light installed?

Yes, the light is positioned so that it does not obstruct the Brompton front carrier block, allowing you to attach your front bag as usual.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the USB cable and check if the charging indicator lights up. If fully charged, try removing and reattaching the light unit to the bracket. Check that the light has not been accidentally turned off.

Light flickers or dims unexpectedly

This may indicate a low battery. Connect the light to a USB power source for charging. If the issue persists after a full charge, the battery may need replacement.

Bracket feels loose

Re-check the mounting screws for the bracket on the brake caliper. Ensure they are tightened securely but do not overtighten. Ensure the light unit is fully seated on the bracket.

Light beam seems weak

Verify the light is fully charged. Clean the lens gently with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or smudges that might diffuse the light.
