6. Charging the Internal Battery
How to Charge the Battery
The B7c charges once it is inserted into a compatible lamp socket
(E26/27) with power. If the LEDs are active and outputting light, the
B7c’s internal battery charges slowly. When the B7c is in standby
mode or is powered off, the bulb charges more quickly and can
complete a full charge cycle (0-100%) in approximately 2 hours.
If the bulb’s internal temperature exceeds 45°C, a protection
mechanism activates, and all charging processes cease until the
light’s internal temperature cools to below 45°C.
Battery Charging Speeds
In the fastest charging scenarios, the B7c can charge up to:
- 50% in 45 minutes
- 80% in 74 minutes
- 100% in 120 minutes
Checking the Charging Status
When the bulb is in standby mode or is powered off, press the “+” or
“-” buttons to initiate a status check. If the battery is charging, the
bulb will pulse three times at 3200K. If the battery is fully charged,
the bulb will light up for 3 seconds at 3200K.
8. Sidus Link App Control
1) Sidus Link App Control allows you to more precisely adjust all of
the output settings of the Accent B7c, including fine-tuning CCT and
brightness, in addition to accessing the light’s HSI color-tunability,
and nine built-in lighting effects, including Paparazzi, Fireworks,
Faulty Bulb, Lightning, TV, Party, Pulsing, Cop Car, and Fire.
7. Preventing Overheating
The ambient operating temperature of the Accent B7c is -10 ~ 40°C.
This product utilizes a built-in lithium battery. To enhance the
battery's stability and longevity, we use high-temperature-resistant
batteries, which can be used in an environment of -10 ~ 40°C.
Keeping the ambient temperature well below 40°C is recommended
to ensure that the B7c does not experience any overheating issues.
Facing the bulb upright also provides the best airflow; however, the
B7c is operable in any position.
If the light enters a "Battery Protection Mode," it will be able to
resume operation once the internal temperature of the components
cools down.
Standard/AC Mode
In Standard (AC) Mode, if the bulb's internal temperature exceeds
80°C, it enters a "Battery Protection Mode," wherein the battery and
LEDs are powered off to protect and cool the internal components.
Battery/DC Mode
In Battery (DC) Mode, if the bulb's internal temperature exceeds
70°C, the maximum output power of the light is reduced to 80%.
Should the internal temperature continue to rise and exceed 73°C,
the light enters a "Battery Protection Mode," wherein the battery
and LEDs are powered off to protect and cool the internal
components.
2) Using the Sidus Link APP
2. CCT Mode
You can toggle through the six built-in CCT presets by
double-pressing power button: 2000K, 2700K, 3200K, 4300K, 5500K,
6500K. You can also adjust the B7c’s CCT more precisely between
2,000K-10,000K using the Sidus Link App.

between 10 dimming presets between 10% to 100%. You can also
adjust the brightness more precisely using the Sidus Link App.
4. Bluetooth Mode
Simultaneously long-press the power button and the "+" or "-"
button for 5 seconds to reset the fixture's Bluetooth configuration.
When the Bluetooth Reset sequence initiates, the bulb will proceed
to pulse red, green, then blue in sequence. Then you can connect to
the B7c using the Sidus Link App.
5. Power Supply Modes
This fixture can operate in two different power supply modes
Standard (AC) Mode and Battery (DC) Mode.
Standard/AC Mode
In Standard (AC) Mode, the bulb behaves as a regular light bulb and
turns on when it receives power from a lamp socket (E26/E27). When
the lamp the bulb is installed in is switched off, the bulb will also
immediately turn off.
Battery/DC Mode
In Battery (DC) Mode, the bulb switches to its internal battery power
when it does not receive any AC power from a lamp. Switching
between these states causes the light to turn off for a brief moment,
before resuming its previous settings.
Switching Between Modes
To switch between the two modes, simultaneously press the power
button, the “+” button, and the “-” button. To signify that it is in
Standard (AC) Mode, the bulb emits a green glow at 30% brightness,
and then slowly fades to 0%. To signify that it is in Battery (DC)
Mode, it gradually fades into a green glow from 0% to 30%
brightness.
Checking the Power Supply Mode
To determine which mode the bulb is currently in, long-press the
power button for 3 seconds. If the light pulses green three times,
the bulb is in Standard (AC) Mode. If the light turns on at 10%
brightness, then the fixture is in Battery (DC) Mode.

  • Overheating Prevention: It is recommended to keep the ambient temperature well below 40°C to prevent overheating. Facing the bulb upright promotes better airflow. If the bulb's internal temperature exceeds certain thresholds, it enters "Battery Protection Mode" to prevent damage.
    • In Standard (AC) Mode, if the internal temperature exceeds 80°C, the battery and LEDs are powered off.
    • In Battery (DC) Mode, if the internal temperature exceeds 70°C, the maximum output power is reduced to 80%. If it continues to rise above 73°C, the battery and LEDs are powered off.
  • Charging: The internal battery charges when the bulb is inserted into a compatible lamp socket with power. Charging is faster when the B7c is in standby mode or powered off (approximately 2 hours for a full charge). If the internal temperature exceeds 45°C, charging pauses until the temperature drops below 45°C to protect the battery.
  • Impact Protection: Users should be careful to prevent damage from impacts, such as dropping or hitting the fixture, as this can compromise its functionality and lifespan.
  • Authorized Service: In case of any issues, the product should be checked by an authorized service or repair agent. Unauthorized disassembly voids the warranty. Repairs due to unauthorized disassembly may be chargeable.
