Mounting Instruction

Bicycle light and wireless switch 

  1. Loosen 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. Slide the light into the mount until a distinct “click” is heard.
  3. Fasten the cable of the wireless switch to the desired position on the bike handlebar.

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:
  3. Thick + thin shims together: diameter 22-28mm;
  4. Thin only: diameter 28-32mm);
  5. No shim (whenever applicable): diameter 32-35mm.
  6. The bicycle light can be used on a helmet with the Fenix bicycle light helmet holder.

Low-voltage Warning

The functional switch will flash red to remind to replace the batteries when the voltage level drops below a preset level. The bicycle light is programmed to step down a few lumens to prolong the runtime and the light will not turn off automatically. 

 

Note: This may not work if 4*CR123A batteries are being used.

 

Overheat Protection

The light will accumulate a lot of heat when working on High mode for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 65°C, the light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. High mode can be reselected if needed. This is a very bright bike light.

 

Usage and Maintenance

  • Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
  • Replace the battery in time to ensure normal use for next time.
  • If the light will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the light could be damaged by electrolyte leakage or battery explosion.
  • Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the ring with an approved spare.

Warning

  1. This light is a high-intensity lighting device capable of causing severe eye damage. Avoid shining the light directly into anyone’s eyes.
  2. This light will accumulate a lot of heat when used for extended periods, resulting in high temperature of the flashlight shell. Pay attention to safe use to avoid scalding.

Fenix Delivers yet again.

This is a light for your bike that rivals the lights on older cars. I've got an older BC30 on my mountain bike, and got this one for my wife who had a serious case of Light Envy as we were cruising around the back city streets of Butte one evening. It fits well on her Townie and now we can BOTH see at night. Love it. The wireless Turbo button is a nice touch, and I hope it lasts.

Good bikepacking light

I've used the BC30 V2.0 for 24 hour racing (OP duo) and bikepacking events. It has been great for each. Replaceable, rechargeable batteries is a game changer. Carry spares and manage output for several nights bikepacking, or run full tilt for a 24 team event - 3 sets of batteries worked for me, 2 on charge, one burning. The beam patter is smooth, strong and long. I paired with the hangover at OP. The pairing wasn't great as the Fenix light overpowered the Hangover. It does feel a bit heavy which gave me pause for bikepacking, but it works so well I quickly forgot about a few grams.

good bright light

I ride several days a week in the DFW area so I am riding early morning to avoid the heat (5am), while it is still dark. Overall I am happy with the light and really like the remote switch only issue I have had is it will shut off when I hit a decent bump, I am guessing something in the battery box is losing contact for a split second and shutting off. So far I just turn it back on with no issue.

You might want to reach out to our warranty department for help troubleshooting why that happens. It may just be that the wire coil on the battery connection is too 'flat' and the battery can lose the connection with a bump. It shouldn't be doing that.

An okay bike light

As I said it's an okay bike light, I think the hype written about this light is a bit over stated. Don't get me wrong, it puts out plenty of light and the pattern works so-so, but for one in reality the width isn't very wide and not really practical for the urban streets at night. On coming cars still flash their headlights at me because it must be very bright head on. It does light up the road directly in front of me very well, I see something before I hit it or be able to avoid it. For a bike light mounted on your handlebars this is a very heavy light with 2 18650 batteries installed. A second issue I have is the remote, wireless is a good idea if it works, it really sucks when it doesn't and my wireless remote has not communicated with my light several times and they're mounted right next to each other. I think that one day a bike lighting company will develop a better way to secure the light to the handlebars that makes it tougher to steal when you walk away from your bike. The other thing is this light needs to be mounted perfectly horizontal to work properly, meaning the light pattern on the road ahead of you. I use it on an Electric Bike and the handlebars are already crowded before mounting the light, so adding this light ended up being on a slight angle which means the light pattern in front of me is slightly skewed at about a 10 degree angle that makes part of the light shine directly into anyone in front of me or walking towards my direction. But a good thing is once mounted it stays right where it is supposed to be and doesn't move even on the bumpiest roadways.

Nice light, but can't mount on a mountain bike

The mount won't fit a standard 35mm mountain bike bar diameter. When you try to use the rubber shim for the smaller part of the bar, the light won't clamp tight and it moves, so this light is useless to me.

It should fit 32-35mm without using a shim. The following is in the Mounting Instructions section of the Operating Instructions.

'Note:

Adjust the direction of the light before testing the power and functions of the bicycle light.
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);
No shim (whenever applicable): diameter 32-35mm.
The bicycle light can be used on a helmet with the Fenix bicycle light helmet holder.'

I do not see an order under your email used for the review, so I'm not sure where you purchased or when, but you should be able to return the light if you are within the return window.
