- Battery Indicator (KX12D Pro only): The digital display on the KX12D Pro shows the remaining battery percentage and estimated runtime.
- Power Indicator (All models with indicator): When power is sufficient, the green light remains solid. When power is insufficient, the green light will breathe (pulse).
The innovative anti-glare design helps to level off the upper light beam, preventing it from intruding on oncoming traffic and increasing rider safety.

The NATFIRE Bike Light KX Series is USB rechargeable. The KX12D Pro uses a Type-C port, while the KX8F and KX6 use Micro-USB.

- Charging Indication: During charging, the green indicator light will breathe (pulse). Once fully charged, the green light will remain solid.
- Power Bank Function: The KX Series bike lights can also function as a power bank. Connect your smartphone or other USB-powered device to the light's output port using a suitable cable to charge it while riding. Built-in intelligence IC prevents overcharge or over-discharge, extending battery life.
7. Maintenance
- Regular Charging: If you do not use the bike light for an extended period, charge it every three months to maintain battery health.
- Cleaning: Wipe the light with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the light in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
