Full details

FAQs
Are these lights waterproof?
The lights are weather-resistant and designed to handle rain and road spray, but they should not be submerged in water.
How long does it take to charge the units?
Typical charge time is approximately 3-4 hours via a standard USB port, depending on the current output.
Can I mount the tail light on my helmet?
The silicone straps are designed primarily for seat posts and handlebars, which may not fit securely on standard helmet vents.
What is the runtime for the headlight on high mode?
Runtime varies based on temperature and usage, but you can generally expect consistent output for the duration of a standard commute.
Are the mounting straps replaceable?
Yes, the silicone straps are a common wear item and can be replaced if they lose elasticity over time.
Troubleshooting
Light fails to charge when plugged in
Ensure the micro-USB cable is pushed fully into the port and verify that the power source is active.
Silicone strap is slipping on the handlebars
Clean the handlebar and the back of the light mount with rubbing alcohol to remove grease, then ensure the strap is stretched tightly.
Light shuts off unexpectedly
Check the built-in power gauge; if the battery is depleted, the light will automatically shut down to protect the cells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is entirely tool-free. To attach the lights, simply stretch the silicone strap around your handlebar or seat post and hook it into the corresponding notch on the light body. The silicone construction is flexible enough to accommodate various tube shapes, including aero posts. For maintenance, keep the charging ports free of mud and debris by ensuring the rubber covers are securely seated after every charge. If you ride in heavy rain, wipe the housing down with a dry cloth afterward to prevent corrosion on the electrical contacts. Avoid submerging the lights in water, even though they are designed to be weather-resistant.
