Fenix BC25R USB Rechargeable Bike Light specs chart

On/Off

Press and hold the switch for 0.5s to turn the light on/off.

 

Output Selection

With the light switched on, single click the switch to cycle through Low→Med→High→Turbo.

 

Flash

With the light switched on, double click the switch to enter flash, single click to turn back to general mode.

 

Battery level Indication

With the light switched off, single click the switch to check the battery status. The battery level indicators will display the battery status for 3 seconds.

  • One light on: critical, 0% – 25%
  • Two lights on: poor, 26% – 50%
  • Three lights on: sufficient, 51% – 85%
  • Four lights on: saturated, 86% – 100%

Charging

One standard Micro USB charging cable, which can be used for charging other digital devices, is included.

 

Operation

With the light switched off, remove the dust cover of the bicycle light to reveal the charging port, and plug the Micro USB end of the USB cable into the light’s charging port, then connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB power adaptor.

 

Charging Indicator:

The indicators near the switch will display charging status. Four indicators will remain constant on when the battery is fully charged.

 

Note:

  1. Once charging is completed, be sure to remove the charging cable and replace the dust cover.
  2. The normal charging time of the built-in battery is 2.5 hours from fully depleted to fully charged with the light off.
  3. Recharge the light timely when the battery level is critical, for future use.
  4. Recharge a stored light every three months to maintain optimal battery performance.
  5. Only Low output can be used while the light is being charged, but charging time will be prolonged.

Intelligent Memory Circuit

The light memorizes the last selected brightness level on General mode. When turned on again the previously used brightness level will be recalled.

 

Overheat Protection

The light will accumulate a lot of heat when working on Turbo mode. The light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature, but turbo mode can be reselected.

 

Low-voltage Warning

One of the indicators flashes when the battery level is critical. When the voltage level drops below a preset level, the bicycle light is programmed to step down to a lower brightness level until Low output is reached. To ensure normal use, the bicycle light will work until the battery runs out.

 

Mounting Instruction

 

Bicycle Light and bicycle mount

  1. Unscrew the screw of the bike mount. Fix the bike mount in the desired position on the bike handlebar and fasten the screw.
  2. Loosen the fine adjustment screw of the handlebar mount before clamping the mount to the bar by securely tightening the set screw.
  3. Slide the light into the mount until a distinct “click” is heard.

Note:

  1. Adjust the direction of the light before testing the power and functions of the bicycle light.
  2. Use the shims provided according to the diameter of the bicycle’s handlebars:
    • Thick + thin shims together: diameter 22-28mm;
    • Thin only: diameter 28-32mm);
    • With no shim (whenever applicable): diameter 32-35mm.

Usage and Maintenance

  1. Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
  2. The light will accumulate a lot of heat when working on Turbo mode. Do not touch the heat dissipation fins.
  3. For secure transportation, the bicycle light is not fully charged before delivery. Recharge it before first use.
  4. Store a fully charged light in a dry, ventilated place if it will not be used for a long time. Recharge a stored light before reuse.

Warning

This light is a high-intensity lighting device capable of causing eye damage to the user or others. Avoid shining the light directly into anyone’s eyes.

Q1. Is the BC25R battery port waterproof?

Works Great

So far the light works great. It has lasted several hours on a single charge.

Good Quality Light, Could Improve in Areas

Likes:
Firstly, I like that this light has a cutoff beam, and I think cyclists should have a cutoff beam light, at least if you're just commuting. 600 lumens is absolutely more than enough in the city, and the 350lm setting is often sufficient. I like the build of light as well—it's pretty sleek and has clean lines. Having the button on the top is optimal as it allow the easiest and most convenient access, as opposed to having it on the side or the back. The indicator is also nice as well, and provides fine enough granularity to get the most rides between charges.
The mount is also decently sturdy and can pivot as well. I haven't had it come loose even riding on rough roads.

Dislikes:
The beam pattern doesn't quite have enough throw, i.e. there's not enough light focused in the center-top. A lot of the light illuminates the road just a couple of feet in front of you and is somewhat wasted. As a result, this light might not be suitable for riding at higher speeds in very dark locations. Another subtlety is that the all the spilt light in front of the bike tends to saturate your vision a bit, and negatively affect your night vision, i.e. your ability to see the dark areas around you.
Also, the battery life ratings are a bit dubious and misleading. First, I should say that I got <6.5hrs at room temperature. That in and of itself is acceptable. However, and to Fenix's credit they do mention it, the light dims by one level until it runs out of energy. Crucially, the time that the dimmed light counts toward the listed 7 hour runtime! In my experiment, I got a bit more than 5 hours before it dimmed from 350lm to 150lm. Much less acceptable. Battery life will also be significantly reduced in the cold, but that happens with any Lithium battery.

Misc:
It would also be nice if Fenix produced a similar light with a readily removable 18650 cell. It's doable now if you have some soldering know-how, but if it was removable you could really extend your range by carrying spare batteries. After a few years of daily use, the battery life also will have likely degraded significantly.
The price is also very good, but that didn't factor into my rating.

Access Dubious
Second BC25R, Second Review

Well, my first BC25R finally gave up the ghost. Too many hard knocks. After two and a half years of everyday use, I wasn't too sad, since I had gotten a lot of good use out of it. I immediately ordered another one. Exactly the same as the first, but the black aluminum finish on the top is matte now, instead of satin. I liked the satin better.

I do have a BC26R, but don't like it. I much prefer the warmer color and shaped beam of the 25 to the 26, which is more blue and has no cutoff. I'd rather have two 25s than one 26. Also, as stated in my first review, the spring clip on the mount breaks easily, and there is not enough friction between the mount and the BC26R's aluminum body to keep it securely mounted without the clip (there is enough friction between the mount and the BC25R's polymer lower body).

works good

Bright, good beam pattern, the hot spot is a little too close to the front of your tire when you have the cut off set at head height. So i just have the cut off aimed above head height
