3.3 Beam Pattern and Usage Tips
The headlight provides a wide and far-reaching beam pattern for optimal visibility.

Figure 8: Visual guide and tips for adjusting the bike light angle to avoid dazzling pedestrians and selecting appropriate brightness modes.
Beam Adjustment Tips:
- Adjust the angle of the bike light so that the upper edge of the main spot shines on the waist of an oncoming pedestrian. This ensures sufficient illumination distance without reflecting light back into their eyes.
- For slower riding speeds, use a low brightness mode. For faster riding or darker conditions, a high brightness mode is recommended.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
- Wipe the headlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the lens is clean for optimal light output.
4.2 Battery Care
- To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
- If storing the light for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50-70% every 3-6 months.
- The intelligent low power protection function will automatically downshift or power off the light to protect the battery when charge is critically low.
4.3 Storage
- Store the headlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed to maintain IPX6 water resistance.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ROCKBROS Bicycle Headlight, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | Battery is depleted. | Charge the headlight fully using the provided USB Type-C cable. |
| Light turns off unexpectedly or dims. | Low battery or overheating protection activated. | Recharge the battery. If overheating, allow the light to cool down. The intelligent temperature control system will automatically downshift or power off to prevent damage. |
| Shortened battery run time. | Battery degradation over time or frequent use of high brightness modes. | Ensure the light is fully charged before each ride. Consider using lower brightness modes when maximum output is not required. Battery capacity naturally decreases over its lifespan. |
| Light flickers or behaves erratically. | Loose connection or internal fault. | Ensure the charging port is clean and dry. If the issue persists after charging, contact customer support. |
