A bargain set of Fenix BC30 V2.0 bike light, two rechargeable USB Li-ion batteries Fenix 18650 3500 mAh and double micro-USB cable for convenient charging. Caution: when charging the USB batteries with the cable directly in the battery holder of the flashlight, one of the batteries must be removed, otherwise only one of the batteries will be charged.
The second generation of the extremely powerful Fenix BC30 V2.0 bike light delivers up to 2200 lumens (ANSI). A pair of rechargeable Li-ion 18650 batteries, (18650s without a protruding plus pole in the flashlight have insufficient contact) or four disposable CR123A batteries can be used to power the BC30 V2.0. The light source is two modern Luminus SST-40 LEDs. The flashlight uses proven Dual Distance Beam System“ technology. The main cone of light is created by specially designed optics and reaches up to 187 meters, while a secondary wide beam cone completes the optical member, which is shaped at the top so that upward-facing light refracts down to the ground. This creates a cone that continuously illuminates the entire area in front of the bicycle - even in places that conventional bicycle lights do not cover. Compared to the previous generation, the bike light is equipped with a wireless remote control, which can be used to change light modes or activate Burst mode. The bracket design allows for quick mounting and dismounting of the light on the handlebars without tools, and the bracket also allows for quick removal of the light so it can be used as a high-performance handheld light. The holder can be used on all handlebar diameters from 22 to 32 millimetres. A total of six digitally controlled power modes are available, including a warning flash and low battery warning. The Fenix BC30 V2.0 Cyclo Flashlight will provide you with quality lighting for night training, regular commutes and 24-hour races.
All flashlight parameters (lumen output, battery life, waterproofing and range) are measured in accordance with ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009.

Using the Fenix BC30 V2.0 Bike Light
To turn on or off, hold the button on the flashlight for approximately 0.5 seconds. The flashlight will always turn on in the lowest mode, you can switch the other power levels at any time during operation by pressing the button. To switch to flashing mode, press the button twice quickly. If the flashlight is on, the modes can also be switched with the remote wireless controller. Burst mode is activated by pressing the button with the flash symbol, the other permanent light modes are switched by a second smaller button. The flashlight can be switched off by holding the smaller button for 0.5 seconds. Before using the wireless remote switch for the first time, it must be paired with the flashlight. Then press any button on the remote control and the flashlight will light up again to indicate successful pairing. The distance between the flashlight and the remote control during pairing should be no more than 1.5 meters. This process only needs to be done once, the remote control and the flashlight are then permanently paired.
Battery charge indication - During operation of the flashlight, the indicator LEDs in the button are lit. If the indicator LED is green the batteries are more than 80% charged, orange means 40-80% capacity. If the light is red, the batteries are 10-40% charged. Red flashing indicates less than 10% battery capacity remaining. If the button is flashing red, the flashlight will automatically switch the power to lower modes to ensure the longest battery life. In this case, we recommend replacing the batteries with charged ones as soon as possible to prevent the protective electronics built into the batteries from switching off and thus turning off the light. The indication can be switched on even when the lamp is switched off, just press the control button and then the indication LED will light up for three seconds.
