To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DARKBEAM bike lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the lights with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Water Exposure: While the lights are IPX5 waterproof, avoid prolonged submersion in water. Ensure the USB-C port cover is securely closed when not charging, especially in wet conditions.
  • Battery Care: Recharge the lights regularly, even if not used frequently, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully depleting the battery before recharging.
  • Storage: Store the lights in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

  • Light Not Turning On: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a power source and check the LED indicator. If the light still doesn't turn on, try pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds.
  • Dim Light Output: The battery might be low. Recharge the light fully. Ensure the lens is clean and free from dirt or obstructions.

  • Light Malfunctions in Wet Conditions: Ensure the USB-C port cover is fully sealed. While IPX5 rated, extreme conditions or improper sealing can affect performance. Allow the light to dry completely before attempting to use it again.
