The NEWBOLER LIG008 is a high-performance bicycle front light designed for enhanced visibility and safety during cycling. It features multiple lighting modes, a powerful battery, and can double as a power bank for charging other devices. Its durable aluminum plastic shell and IPX5 waterproof rating ensure reliability in various conditions.
2. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your NEWBOLER LIG008 Bicycle Front Light on your handlebar:
- Attach the mounting bracket to your bicycle handlebar. Ensure the bracket is securely fastened with the screw.
- Slide the bicycle light onto the bracket until it clicks into place.

3. Operating Instructions
Power On/Off and Mode Selection
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the light on. Subsequent presses will cycle through the available lighting modes:
- Near Light: Provides a broad, close-range beam.

To turn the light off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for a few seconds.
Anti-Glare Feature
The LIG008 is designed with an anti-glare cut-off line to prevent dazzling oncoming pedestrians and cyclists, ensuring safer riding for everyone.
Power Bank Function
The LIG008 features an integrated power bank function with a 5V/1A output, allowing you to charge your mobile phone or other USB-powered devices on the go. Use the provided OTG connector for this purpose.
Charging the Device
The light is USB rechargeable. Connect the provided USB cable to the light's charging port and to a 5V USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter). The indicator lights will show the charging status:
- Low battery: Flashing blue light.
- Fully charged: Solid blue light.
Charging time for the 8000mAh model is approximately 9 hours, and for the 4000mAh model, it's about 4.5 hours. It is generally safe to charge the light using a standard 5V cell phone charger. The light can be used while charging.
4. Maintenance and Care
Waterproof Rating
The LIG008 has an IPX5 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is suitable for daily rain protection and can resist harsh environments.
Important: Do not soak the light in water or rain for a long time.
Cleaning
Wipe the light with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or internal components.
Storage
Store the light in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.
5. Troubleshooting
- Light does not turn on: Ensure the battery is charged. If the battery is low, charge the device fully.
- Light does not charge: Check the USB cable and power source. Try a different cable or adapter. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.
- Light turns off unexpectedly or dims on high setting: This could be due to low battery or thermal management. If the light is used at maximum power for an extended period, especially when stationary, it may automatically reduce brightness to prevent overheating. Allow the device to cool down.
- Mounting bracket issues: If the bracket loosens or rolls on the handlebar, ensure it is tightened correctly. If a replacement holder is needed, contact customer support.
