Charging
Regularly charge your Lumina Micro 950 using the provided USB-C cable. Avoid completely draining the battery to prolong its lifespan. Store the light with a partial charge if not used for extended periods.
Cleaning
Clean the light's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the housing or lens. Ensure the USB-C port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.
Battery Care
The light uses a Li-Ion battery. For optimal performance and longevity, avoid exposing the light to extreme temperatures. If the light will not be used for several months, charge it periodically to maintain battery health.
Troubleshooting
Light Not Turning On
