After every ride, wipe the light with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or moisture. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials that could scratch the surface of the light. - Charging
To prolong the life of your light’s battery, avoid letting it fully discharge regularly. Charging it when it reaches around 20-30% is ideal. Additionally, store the light in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods. - Inspecting the Mounting Bracket
Regularly check the mounting bracket and straps to ensure they are secure and free from damage. If any part becomes worn or loose, replace it to ensure the light stays safely attached to your bike. - Water Resistance
