FAQs

What is the difference between MODE 1 and MODE 2 on the Rigel Max?

MODE 1 typically provides a standard output level for general riding, while MODE 2 might offer a slightly higher or different beam pattern for specific conditions like trails. Refer to the manual for precise specifications of each mode.

How long does it take to fully charge the Rigel Max and Helix Lite?

Both lights have a recharge time of approximately 3 hours for a full charge.

Are the batteries user-replaceable?

No, both lights feature built-in Li-PO batteries that are not designed for user replacement.

What does the IPX7 rating mean?

An IPX7 rating signifies that the lights are protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. This makes them suitable for use in heavy rain and for washing.

Can I use the lights while they are charging?

Yes, it is generally possible to use the lights while they are charging via USB Type-C, though performance might be limited depending on the power source.

How does the intelligent motion sensing function work on the Rigel Max?

The light detects motion to stay on and automatically enters a standby mode after a period of inactivity. It then quickly resumes full brightness when motion is detected again.

Does the set come with all necessary mounting hardware?

The set includes a Garmin-style quick-release handlebar bracket for the Rigel Max. The Helix Lite typically comes with a strap for mounting, but specific hardware may vary.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the light is charged. Connect to a USB power source and check if the charging indicator illuminates. If charged, try holding the power button for a longer duration to activate lock mode release if engaged.

Light not charging

Verify the USB Type-C cable is properly inserted into both the light and the power source. Try a different USB cable and power source. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.

Front light brightness dims unexpectedly

This may indicate the intelligent brightness function is active due to lower battery levels or ambient light conditions. Check the battery indicator. If the battery is full, the light might be adjusting to lower ambient light.

Rear light flashes erratically

Ensure the light is not in a flashing mode that mimics erratic behavior. Check the selected mode and consult the manual for specific mode functions. Ensure the battery is adequately charged.

Lock mode activated accidentally

Refer to the product manual for the specific sequence to deactivate lock mode, typically involving a long press of the power button or a combination of button presses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Charging: Before first use, fully charge both the Rigel Max and Helix Lite using the included USB Type-C cables. Connect the cables to a compatible USB power source.
  3. Mode Selection: Press the power button to turn the lights on/off. Cycle through modes by short-pressing the power button (Rigel Max) or side button (Helix Lite). Long-press to activate lock mode or other functions as described in the full manual.

Compatibility:

  • Charging: Compatible with any standard USB power source (wall adapter, computer, power bank).
  • Mounting: The Rigel Max uses a Garmin-style quarter-turn mount. The Helix Lite typically uses a standard strap mount (ensure compatibility with your seatpost or frame geometry).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the lights with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the USB ports are dry before charging.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Engage lock mode when transporting to prevent accidental battery drain.
  • Water Resistance: While rated IPX7, avoid prolonged submersion. After riding in heavy rain or washing your bike, dry the lights thoroughly.
