Full details
The Fox Halo Multi-Colour Strip Light is designed for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts needing versatile, portable lighting. Its key benefit is offering multiple light colours (White, Green, Red) with adjustable brightness and a magnetic mounting system for easy setup in bivvies or around a campsite.

FAQs
What is the difference between the Standard and Large battery options?
The Large battery (7200mAh) offers longer runtimes compared to the Standard battery (4800mAh). Charging time is also longer for the Large battery.
How long does it take to charge the light?
Charging time varies: Standard battery takes approximately 8.5 hours, and the Large battery takes approximately 11.5 hours.
Can I use the light while it is charging?
Yes, you can use the light while it is connected to a power source via the USB-C charging cable.
How do I change the colour of the light?
Single press the power button on the light unit to cycle through White, Green, and Red LEDs. The remote control also allows selection of individual colours.
What is the purpose of the Green LED?
The Green LED is often preferred for night use, particularly by anglers, as it is less disruptive to wildlife and may preserve night vision better than white light.
Can this light be used outdoors in the rain?
The product description does not specify an IP rating for water resistance. It is recommended to keep the light protected from direct exposure to rain or water.
What is the camera adaptor thread size?
The product information states it has a 'camera adaptor thread'. While the exact size is not specified, it is generally compatible with standard camera tripod mounts.
Troubleshooting
Light will not turn on.
Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the USB-C cable to a power source and check for charging indicator. If fully charged, try holding the power button for longer.
Remote control is not working.
Check the battery in the remote. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the light. Try re-pairing the remote by holding the power button on the light for 10 seconds while the remote is nearby.
Light flickers or dims unexpectedly.
This may indicate a low battery. Charge the unit. If the issue persists with a full charge, contact customer support.
Unable to charge other devices via USB out port.
Verify that the light has sufficient battery charge. Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the light and the device being charged. Try a different USB cable.
Magnetic mount is weak.
Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of dust or debris. The surface must be made of ferrous metal for the magnet to adhere strongly.
