LUPINE PIKO All-in-One 2100lm 3.5Ah Head Lamp

Safety instructions

Warning

Avoid looking directly into the light emitted by the light or shining the light into your own eyes or the eyes of another person. If the light accidentally shines into your eyes, close your eyes and move your head out of the light beam. Do not use any strongly focusing optical device to look at the light beam. In cases where the light is used in a public or commercial setting, users should be provided with training concerning the safety measures for laser light. This device may then be used by children 8 years of age or older, persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, as well as persons with no previous experience in handling such devices, if they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety.

• Attention:  Risk group 2: Proven optical radiation! Do not look into the lamp for a long time during operation. May be harmful to the eyes.
• The danger of glare: The strong glare of the lamp can be temporary Eyesight and afterimages feel dying Irritation, authorizations or treatment commands can.
• Recharge you battery before using the light. Carry a spare light with you at all times, as the product can potentially fail unexpectedly at any time. In the event of any physical or internal battery failure, do not attempt to repair. No user-serviceable parts!
• Heat generation: The housing of Piko may heat up; so make sure that you always keep the light at a safe distance to any combustible or flammable materials. Could cause fire or death! However, quiescent operation (without cooling the light housing via airflow or the like) is possible at any time and will not damage the product. When the light is being used in a stationary state, the light will be dimmed after a few minutes to reduce the light’s temperature. Continuous operation at 20 watts is only possible with air flowing over the housing
• Important:  Always disconnect the battery from the light at transport or storage Otherwise the small amount of power used by the electronics will discharge the battery, and the lamp may be switched on accidentally.
  Water resistance: All Piko components are waterproof and can of course be used under extremely severe conditions. The lamp complies with IP protection class 68 but is NOT a diving lamp and is NOT suitable for use under water.

Operation

Initialization & voltage display:
After connecting the lamp to the battery, the software runs a selftest. The lamp itself as well as the red and blue LEDs in the switch light up once. The battery voltage is indicated by the blue and red LEDs, as follows:

• The blue LED flashes once for each volt; and then
• the red LED flashes once for each 1/10 of a volt.

Example: The LED flashes seven times blue and five times red = battery voltage is 7.5 V.

Interpreting the voltage display:

• more than 8.0 V battery is fully charged:
• 7.1 to 7.8 V battery needs charging
• 6.5 to 7 V battery is not ready for use

1. Turn on: The first press of the button switches on the light with maximum power. The blue LED is illuminated.
2. Switching: Each quick push of the button switches through the dim levels.
3. Turn off: To turn off the lamp, keep the button pressed.

Note: The light outputs the maximum amount of light only if airflow lowers the temperature of the light sufficiently. If the light is not cooled by airflow, its power is reduced incrementally to prevent the LEDs and electronic elements from overheating.

Meaning of LED colors

The switch on the lamp head is equipped with an RGB-LED to show information about the dim level and the remaining battery capacity.

• blue LED-lit: The lamp is on a high beam.
• green LED lit: The lamp  is on a lower beam.
• red LED lit: Battery Warning, low capacity remaining. The red LED is lighting. You can adjust the timing of the battery warning, see programming on next page
• red LED flashing + light flashing once: Battery Warning, very low capacity remaining. The red LED is flashing and Piko flashing ones, too.
• blue + red LED flashing, in turn,  + light flashing 5 times: Warning The red and blue LED flashing in turn, the lamp flashes 30 times. Stop immediately! The light will be switched
• blue + red LED flashing in turn: After switching the light on again, reserve power at a low beam is available. When reserve power is completely discharged, the light will be switched off automatically. So slow down

Note: The burn time remaining after the red LED is illuminated depends on the total battery capacity, the ambient temperature and the age of the battery.

Programming

Light Levels:

By default, the Piko operates in the 3-step mode, several other light programs are available. They are very easy to select by simply keeping the button pressed until the button’s red or blue LED flashes once, twice, etc. When taking your finger off the button accordingly, the setting will be saved.

Dim Levels and Runtimes

Special functions

Activate diffuse light / SOS:
To activate diffuse light or SOS (depending on the programming), keep the button of the lamp head pressed until it lights up red once, and let go immediately. The light setting is activated. You choose and setup the diffuse light or SOS further down in the programming.

• Programming diffuse light on/off:
  The diffuse light level can be activated or deactivated in the respective light program. Example: When it‘s deactivated the default light setting would only light with 20W and 6W.

• Stealth:
  The LED indications will be reduced to a minimum. For example, there’s no voltage display after connecting the lamp head to the battery.

• Autostart after power interruption:
  When the power is interrupted/disconnected and the current flows again, the lamp lights up in the last used light level without having to switch it on manually.
  Example: If the battery is disconnected from the lamp while it‘s on and the battery is reconnected, it will light in the last used light level.

• RVLR: (3-step RVLR)
  This model includes an additional slow flash mode.

• Start with the lowest beam:
  The lamp will not start at maximum power as by default but at the lowest stage.

• Doubleclick:
  The lamp may only be switched on with a quick double click. Useful for anybody who wants to avoid that the lamp is switched accidentally in particular during transport
  (e. g. in a backpack).

• Reset:
  Resets the lamp to the default setting without disconnecting the Bluetooth connection to the remote control.

Helmet Mount

• No tools are required for mounting this lamp. The helmet mount is already mounted to the light head. You can attach this helmet light to almost any kind of helmet with ventilation openings. First attach the thin velcro with the Lupine logo to one side of the helmet mount.
• Then pull the other end of the velcro through the ventilation openings available on your helmet and fix it on the other side of the helmet mount. Tighten the velcro to avoid slipping the lamp head during use. Insert the lamp head into the FrontClick mount. (Video support YouTube channel “LupineLights”)
