Function Description
The primary function of the RAY 1600B/2600B is to provide powerful and adaptable lighting for bicycles. It features both floodlight and hybrid modes, allowing users to choose between a wide, even beam for general visibility or a combination of flood and spot lighting for more focused illumination. The device also includes flash modes, such as Day Flash and Night Flash, which are crucial for increasing a cyclist's visibility to others, especially in traffic or low-light conditions. The light is equipped with intelligent sensors, including a brightness sensor and a vibration sensor, to automate its operation and conserve battery life. It can be controlled directly via a button on the headlight or remotely using an MJ-6508 remote control, offering convenience and flexibility during rides. Furthermore, the RAY 1600B/2600B is designed to connect with a smartphone application, enabling advanced customization of lighting modes and settings.

Smart Sensor Features:

By clicking "Add" at the bottom of the "Device Settings" interface, users can modify "Constant mode," "SOS," "Slow flash," and "Quick flash," along with their corresponding brightness levels. Up to 20 customized modes are supported. Deleting all customized modes in the app will restore the light to its factory default settings.
Battery Indicator:
