FAQs
How much power does the FlyLight consume?
The Kensington FlyLight is designed for energy efficiency. On a notebook computer, it uses less than 90 seconds of battery power for every hour of use.
What is the lifespan of the LED bulb?
The white LED-tech bulb has an average lifespan of up to 100,000 hours, providing long-term illumination.
Can I use this light with my Mac or Windows computer?
Yes, the FlyLight is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh computers, as long as they have a standard USB port.
Is the light bright enough to read a book?
The FlyLight is optimized for illuminating a laptop keyboard in low light. While it provides focused light, it may not be bright enough for reading larger documents or books from a distance.
How long is the flexible neck?
The flexible neck is approximately 330mm (13 inches) long, allowing for significant adjustability in light placement.
Does this light require any software installation?
No, the Kensington FlyLight is a plug-and-play device. It does not require any drivers or software installation to function.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the USB connector is fully inserted into a functional USB port. Try a different USB port or another computer to confirm the port is working. Check if the computer's USB power management settings are disabling ports.
Light flickers or is dim
This may indicate a poor USB connection. Re-seat the USB connector. If the issue persists, try a different USB port. On a laptop, check battery settings; ensure USB ports are not being aggressively powered down to save battery.
Flexible neck does not hold position
Gently adjust the bend in the neck. If the neck feels loose, ensure it is not damaged. Over time, flexibility might decrease; try adjusting the bend to a more secure angle.
