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.
  • Cycle Modes: Once the light is ON (in either Normal or Smart Mode), a short press of the power button will cycle through the 6 available lighting modes.

4.2. Lighting Modes

The tail light features 6 distinct lighting modes to suit various riding conditions and preferences:

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

4.3. Smart Brake Sensor

The integrated smart brake sensor automatically detects deceleration. When braking, the tail light will illuminate brightly for 3 seconds to alert following traffic. This feature is active in all lighting modes.

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.
