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.
