Auxiliary front light with a wide-angle lens and visible warning flash modes. USB-C rechargeable, IPX6 waterproof and designed to stack under Garmin-standard cycle computer mounts.
Increased chance of being noticed – thanks to the wide-angle lens and warning flash modes
A specially designed wide-angle lens expands lateral coverage while a distinct flashing pattern provides an eye-catching warning. Three steady modes and three flash modes allow selection according to traffic and daylight conditions.
Greater side visibility helps drivers and pedestrians spot the rider at crossroads and roundabouts, improving safety when negotiating traffic.
Neat handlebar fit – thanks to Garmin-standard mounting and reinforced mounting tab
Compatibility with Garmin-standard mounts allows stacking beneath many cycling computers; the mounting tab has an aluminium-alloy coating to withstand frequent installation. Some computer models are excluded and Wahoo fitting requires a separate adapter.
A low-profile fit keeps the front of the bike uncluttered and secures the light without adding bulk, ideal for riders who prefer a tidy cockpit.
Everyday practicality – with USB-C recharge and weather-resistant construction
USB-C charging replaces older micro-USB, with a left-side port and a built-in red indicator that shows low battery levels. An IPX6 rating protects against heavy rain when the charging flap is securely closed.
Quick recharging and robust weather protection make the light dependable for regular commuting, though battery performance can fall in cold temperatures.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the light compatible with Garmin and other cycle computers?
A: Compatibility follows the Garmin standard, working with Garmin mounts and brands that adopt that standard such as iGPSPORT, COOSPO, XOSS and CYCPLUS; the Edge 130 Plus and Edge TT/Tri Bar Mount are not compatible. For Wahoo computers, fitting requires replacing the insert and mounting tab with the QTM01 adapter (sold separately).
Q: Can this be used as my main headlight for night rides?
A: No, the light is designed to increase the chance of being seen and to act as a backup alongside higher-lumen headlights; it is not intended to serve as a primary cycling light.
Q: How does charging and battery indication work?
A: The light charges via USB-C with a left-side port and uses a red indicator to warn when battery is low (solid red under 20% and flashing red under 5%); battery life may reduce in low temperatures, and users report at least eight hours on flashing mode.
