4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Power On/Off and Mode Selection
- Power On/Off: Long press the power button for approximately 2 seconds to turn the light ON or OFF.
- Normal Mode: From the OFF state, a single short press of the power button will activate Normal Mode. In this mode, the light will operate continuously without smart sensing.
- Smart Mode: From the OFF state, a double-click of the power button will activate Smart Mode. In this mode, the light utilizes both motion and light sensors for automatic operation.

- Steady Light: Provides a constant, bright illumination. (Approx. 12 hours runtime)
- Breathing Flash: A gentle, pulsating flash pattern. (Approx. 16 hours runtime)
- Slow Flash: A slow, steady flash. (Approx. 24 hours runtime)
- Rhythm Flash: A dynamic, rhythmic flash pattern. (Approx. 24 hours runtime)
- ECO Flash: An energy-saving flash mode for extended battery life. (Approx. 60 hours runtime)
- Fast Flash: A rapid, high-visibility flash. (Approx. 23 hours runtime)

4.4. Automatic On/Off (Smart Mode)
In Smart Mode, the tail light intelligently conserves battery and optimizes visibility:
- Motion Sensor: If no movement is detected for 45 seconds, the light will automatically turn off. It will automatically turn back on when motion is detected again.
- Light Sensor: The light will automatically turn off in bright ambient light (e.g., daytime) to save power. It will turn on automatically in low light conditions (e.g., night or tunnels).
- Daytime Operation: If you wish to use the light continuously during the day, switch to Normal Mode or select a specific mode that overrides the light sensor functionality.
