HEAT SINK AND COOLING SYSTEM

The high powered output of the TSL-T1200 creates a lot

of heat. The cooler the LED’s run they will have a longer

lifetime. Your light will also produce more light.

To reduce the heat generated by the running LEDs, the

TSL-T1200 was designed with an aluminum alloy body

and equipped with Serfas’ Ram Air cooling system.

The Ram Air cooling system lets air flow through the

light body when riding.

As a precaution, do not run light while bike is stationary.

To properly cool the unit, it must have airflow.

Copper plate LED board

increases the LED heat

transfer rate and enhances

the light’s performance.

HANDLEBAR MOUNTING HELMET MOUNTING

To adjust the horizontal beam, spin the headlight

left to right for your best side to side beam angle.

To adjust the vertical beam angle, loosen the

mounting and rotate the light up and down to

your best vertical beam angle, then tighten

the mounting.

UNIVERSAL BRACKET INSTRUCTIONS:

Open bracket by pulling thumb lever down, then unclip the

thumb lever from the cam hook to open. Adjust the rubber

strap length to fit bar by moving the strap up or down the

rungs located under the swivel light mount. Once the length

of strap is adjusted for best fit, install around handle bar or

seat post by inserting thumb lever into cam hook, then

rotate thumb lever upwards towards swivel mount to lock.

If light still moves on the bar open thumb lever and shorten

strap by moving the rubber strap up to the next rung.

HEAD LIGHT OPERATION OVERHEAT PROTECTION

The overheat protection circuitry in your light ensures that it operates at safe temperatures to insure a

long life. Continued heat build up is the biggest enemy of LED’s and causes lower lumen output and

lifespan when operated too hot. Under proper operating conditions your LED should last 50,000+ hours.

(See battery info for battery lifespan)

When your light is on many factors can cause it to get too hot (inadequate airflow, mud, dirt, walking up

that hill). When this happens the circuitry in this device will automatically go into “Standard” mode. Once

the air flow over the light has improved and the running temperature is reduced the circuitry will kick the

light back into the previous mode.

REMOTE SWITCH (Not Included) BAT-4 BATTERY OPERATION

It is normal that the battery may reach high temperatures during charging (up to 104°F/40°C), as there

is a chemical reaction happening in the battery.

Several factors can influence the battery’s durability and lifespan: type of cell strain, the maintenance

routine, the temperature and etc.

The battery capacity may become less effective; having about 80% of its capacity after 300-500

charge/discharge cycles. The battery may have 3 years or more life span under good care.

The battery voltage and capacity decrease at low temperatures, especially near or below freezing point.

The capacity decreases 5% - 10% at freezing. Around 0°F, the capacity decreases 30%. The battery

performance will return normal when the temperature gets to 70°F/20°C.

The battery will lose around 1% of its capacity per day when you store the battery at normal room

temperature. Battery temperature should never exceed 104°F/40°C, it will lose about 5% of its capacity

per day.

Fully charge the battery before storing. When not in use, we suggest a cool and dry place for storage.

Li-Ion batteries are volatile. Failure to read or follow the instructions may result in fire, personal injury or

damage to property. Do not leave batteries unattended during charging or use. Dispose of battery pack

properly if there is any noticeable damage to casing.

Equipped with a remote switch, allows you easier

on the fly control of your light. You can mount the

switch close to the grip area of your bars so that

your hands don't have to leave the bar to change

settings. It is also mountable on your helmet for

easier to reach control.

1. Open the rubber cap on the back of the light.

2. Then plug in the controller wire.

3. Make sure it has been completely connected.

1. Put one of the ends of the hook and loop strap

around the handle bar.

2. Align to the controller button and pass through

open eyelet on switch base.

3. Pull the hook and loop ends tightly.

1. Put one end of the belt go through the helmet hole.

2. Align to the controller button and pass through.

3. Pull the hook and loop ends tightly.

* When unused, please ensure the protective cap

is closed to avoid water getting in the light body.
