Setup & Operation

How do I charge the main light and the remote control?

Main Light Unit:

  1. Connect the included USB-C cable to the USB-C input port on the light.
  2. Connect the other end to a compatible power source. For the fastest charging (approx. 2.5 hours), use a charger capable of delivering 30W (e.g., 20V/1.5A).
  3. The battery level indicators will display the charging progress. When all four lights are solid, the unit is fully charged.

Remote Control:

The remote control is also rechargeable via its own USB-C port. Use the provided cable and a standard USB power source to charge it fully before first use.

How do I pair and use the remote control of the Tripod Camping Light - 3m?
  1. Power On Remote: Ensure the remote is charged and slide the power switch on its right side to the ON position.
  2. Activate Pairing Mode: Press and hold the power button on the main light unit for 3 seconds. The battery indicator lights will illuminate to show its connected.
  3. Disconnect: Long-press the POWER button on the remote to disconnect from the light.

Remote Functions:

  • POWER Button: Single press turns the light ON/OFF. Long press connects/disconnects remote.
  • Mode Button (Middle): Cycles through light sources (Top Torch -> 1 Panel -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 Panels).
  • Colour Buttons (Left/Right): Cycles through colours (White -> Amber -> Red).
  • Brightness Buttons (Up/Down): Adjusts brightness levels for white and amber light.

Note: To conserve battery, store the remote in its holder facing downwards to avoid accidentally pressing the side power switch.

What are the different ways to mount the Tripod Camping light - 3m?

The light is designed for maximum mounting flexibility:

  • Tripod Mount: Attach the light unit to the included telescopic tripod and extend it up to 3 metres for wide-area overhead lighting.
  • Magnetic Base: Detach the main light unit from the tripod. The strong magnets in its base allow it to be mounted securely to any flat ferrous metal surface, like a vehicle panel or canopy frame.
  • Hanging Hook: Use the built-in fold-out metal hook at the base of the light unit to hang it from tent poles, branches, or awnings.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

The remote control of the Tripod Camping Light - 3m isn't working. What should I do?
  • Check Power Switch: Ensure the slide switch on the right-hand side of the remote is in the 'ON' position.
  • Check Battery: The remote may need to be recharged. Connect it to a USB power source via its USB-C port.
  • Re-Pair Remote: If it's on and charged, try re-pairing it. Hold the power button on the main light unit for 3 seconds, then long-press the power button on the remote to re-establish the connection.
The battery of the Tripod Camping Light - 3m seems to drain faster than expected. Why could this be?
  • Operating the light at its maximum brightness (6000 lumens) will consume battery power more quickly. To extend runtime, select a lower brightness setting.
  • Charging an external device via the USB-A or USB-C output ports while the light is on will place a dual load on the battery, causing it to discharge significantly faster.
  • Extremely hot or cold conditions can affect the performance and efficiency of the internal lithium-ion battery.
What does the IPX4 rating mean?

The IPX4 rating indicates that the product is protected against splashing water from any direction. This means it is suitable for use in light rain and damp outdoor environments. However, it is not waterproof and must not be submerged in water or exposed to high-pressure water jets.
