Product Information

Full details

The Brompton Rear Dynamo Lamp is for Brompton folding bike owners seeking integrated, reliable lighting without battery concerns. Its key benefit is a powerful LED light that operates via dynamo power, ensuring you're always visible. A minor caveat is its specific fitment for Brompton bikes, requiring dynamo hub and front light connection. This lamp replaces the standard reflector, offering enhanced safety with its always-on functionality and a 'safe stop' feature that keeps the light on for four minutes after you stop.

FAQs

Do I need batteries for this light?

No, the Brompton Rear Dynamo Lamp is powered by the bike's dynamo hub, so no batteries are required.

Can I install this on any bicycle?

This lamp is specifically designed for Brompton folding bikes equipped with a dynamo hub and a compatible front light.

How long does the 'Safe Stop' light stay on?

The 'Safe Stop' feature keeps the light illuminated for up to four minutes after you come to a complete stop.

What is the part code for this lamp?

The part code is QVDYNRLAM-SOLO, and the part number is 9020454.

Does this light work if I don't have a front light?

While it can be connected, its full functionality and intended operation often rely on the electrical system set up for a front dynamo light. It's recommended to have both.

How do I clean the lamp?

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the lens. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning agents.

Is this compatible with Brompton bikes that have a rear rack?

Yes, the lamp is compatible with Brompton bikes that are equipped with or without a rear rack.

Troubleshooting

Rear light does not turn on

Verify that the dynamo hub is functioning correctly. Check all electrical connections between the dynamo, front light, and rear lamp for looseness or corrosion. Ensure the wheel is spinning sufficiently to generate power.

Light flickers intermittently

Inspect wiring connections for intermittent contact. A loose connection is the most likely cause. Ensure the dynamo is properly seated and the wheel spins freely without obstruction.

'Safe Stop' feature is not working

Confirm that the 'safe stop' function is enabled (if there's a switch) and that the light is receiving adequate power from the dynamo. Some dynamo systems may require a minimum speed to maintain the capacitor charge for the 'safe stop' feature.

Lamp is damaged or loose

Inspect the lamp for any visible physical damage. Tighten the mounting hardware securing the lamp to the bike. If the lamp is broken, it may need replacement.
