FAQs

How long does the battery last?

Battery life varies by mode, ranging from approximately 2 hours on the highest constant mode to over 20 hours on the lowest flashing mode.

Is the brake sensor always active?

The brake sensor is active when the light is in modes that utilize it. It activates automatically when the light detects deceleration.

What type of charger do I need?

The TR500 uses a USB-C port, so you will need a standard USB-C charging cable and a compatible power source (like a USB wall adapter, computer, or power bank).

Can I use this light in the rain?

The light is designed to be water-resistant, suitable for use in typical wet riding conditions. However, avoid prolonged submersion.

How do I switch between modes?

Briefly press the power button to cycle through the different modes. A long press will turn the light on or off.

Does it remember the last used mode?

No, the light typically reverts to a default mode (often the lowest constant or brightest flash) when turned on. You will need to select your preferred mode each time.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the battery is charged. Press and hold the power button for a second to turn on. If still unresponsive, connect to a USB-C charger for a few minutes.

Brake sensor not activating

Verify the light is in a mode that supports the brake sensor. Ensure the light is mounted securely and directly facing backward. Check if the light has been inactive for over 2 minutes, as it may have auto-turned off.

Light not charging

Check that the USB-C cable is properly connected to both the light and the power source. Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.

Light turns off unexpectedly

The battery may be depleted. Connect to a charger. If the battery is full, check if the light has been stationary for over 2 minutes, triggering the auto-off function.
