- Thick + thin shims together: diameter 22-28mm;
- Thin only: diameter 28-32mm);
- No shim (whenever applicable): diameter 32-35mm.
- The bicycle light can be used on a helmet with the Fenix bicycle light helmet holder.
Low-voltage Warning
The functional switch will flash red to remind to replace the batteries when the voltage level drops below a preset level. The bicycle light is programmed to step down a few lumens to prolong the runtime and the light will not turn off automatically.
Note: This may not work if 4*CR123A batteries are being used.
Overheat Protection
The light will accumulate a lot of heat when working on High mode for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 65°C, the light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. High mode can be reselected if needed. This is a very bright bike light.
Usage and Maintenance
- Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
- Replace the battery in time to ensure normal use for next time.
- If the light will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the light could be damaged by electrolyte leakage or battery explosion.
- Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the ring with an approved spare.
Warning
- This light is a high-intensity lighting device capable of causing severe eye damage. Avoid shining the light directly into anyone’s eyes.
- This light will accumulate a lot of heat when used for extended periods, resulting in high temperature of the flashlight shell. Pay attention to safe use to avoid scalding.
