Full details

A potential caveat is its specialized design, which may require specific mounting considerations for non-Brompton bikes.

What does GentleBeam technology do?

GentleBeam optics shape the light beam to illuminate the road ahead effectively while preventing glare for oncoming traffic, improving safety and compliance.

How do I clean the lights?

Troubleshooting

Front or rear light not turning on

Ensure the light is fully charged. Check that the light is securely attached to its mount and that the charging contacts are clean. If using the wireless remote, ensure it is paired and has sufficient battery.

Wireless remote not controlling lights

Confirm the remote is paired with the lights. Refer to the manual for re-pairing instructions. Check the remote's battery level and replace if necessary.

Reduced brightness or short battery life

The battery may need charging. Clean the LED lenses to ensure maximum light output. If the issue persists after a full charge, the battery may be degrading.

Light is not waterproof despite rating

Inspect the light for any visible cracks or damage to the housing or seals. Ensure all port covers are properly closed and secure before exposing to water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The VTG1000+VTG50TL set is designed for straightforward, tool-free mounting on Brompton bicycles. The included mounts are specifically shaped to integrate with Brompton frames without interfering with the bike's folding mechanism. For the front light, attach the mount to the designated point, slide the light on, and ensure it locks securely. The rear light typically mounts to the seatpost or a compatible rack. Follow the included diagrams for precise placement.

Compatibility: This lighting set is optimized for Brompton bicycles. While the included mounts are Brompton-specific, the set often comes with GoPro adapters, offering potential versatility for mounting on other bicycles or helmets, though custom mounting solutions might be necessary.

Care: Keep the lenses clean for optimal light output; use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The lights are IPX6 waterproof, meaning they can withstand powerful water jets, but submersion should be avoided. Ensure charging ports are dry before connecting the USB-C cable. Periodically check the mounts for secure fitting.
