2C Solar Light Caps - FAQs
Q) How does the 2CLight work?
A) The 2CLight is easy to use because you simply wear it by day for sun protection like a regular cap - all the time the 2CLight’s batteries are being charged by the sun. Then, when you need light, simply press the button! You can control the mode and brightness of the light to suit your task. The fully charged light will supply from 2 to 4 hours of light on the high setting. On low, the 2CLight operates all night.
Q) How does the 2C Light manage to generate and store enough power to give me free light every night?
A) Technically speaking, the 2CLight uses a micro processor controlled charging and discharging system that provides pulse width modulation to control the light brightness and to offer multifunction options. This allows even light brightness as the battery discharges and saves power when using the dimmer or pattern controls. The wearer can extend the life of the battery through the night, and the 2C provides a truly wearable solar powered light that works !
Q) How do I operate the 2CLight?
A) The 2CLight has one button, so it is simple to operate: Turn Light On - Press Once Turn Light Off - Press Once Change to the next Mode - Double Click Dimmer Control - Press and Hold
Q) How do I charge the 2CLight?
A) Simply wear it! Or alternatively leave it in a window so it can charge from the sun. Ideally wear it in the daylight. Direct sun is best. Or leave it in a window / car dashboard. Typical charge times are outlined below:
Please note : Estimating the charge differs under different light and battery conditions. The above estimates are based on a full sun day starting with a flat battery. The speed of re-charging depends on the environmental conditions and amount of charge left in the battery.
Q) How long will the 2CLight operate?
A) 36 Hours on low setting. 2 to 4 hours on full power. 4-8 hours on full power SOS mode
The 2CLight uses pulse width modulated control of its ultra bright LEDs to provide even light output over its operational time. The length of full brightness operation is approximately two thirds of its full runtime. Average operational runtimes under various charging conditions are graphed to the right (not including powersave reserve).
Q) How does the powersave reserve work?
A) 2CLight is clever: it turns off before the battery drains completely, so you always have a little in reserve. Then, it provides short bursts of light with every press of the button until the power is exhausted, or you may dim it to extend the reserve supply. What is the 2C Light?
It is a fully functional and very practical headlamp integrated into a fashionable cap
Q) How long will it hold the charge?
A) For many months.
Q) Can I read with it?
A) Yes, easily. Even when dimmed to low power.
Q) Is the light annoying shining into other peoples eyes?
A) No, the 2C Light is a social light – the downward angled beam provides the wearer with a flattering glow on their face and it has a unique press and hold dimmer control.
Q) Can I walk with this / What is the light range ?
A) Yes the 2CLight has a downward angle which shines about two meters forward with a single bright wide beam.
You may adjust the angle of the beam by tilting the cap up or down. In a dark place the beam penetrates 10 meters.
Q) Do the bulbs have to be replaced?
A) No, they have an expected life of over 100,000 hours, or approximately 50x the warranty period. Note that there are some products on the market that ‘overrun’ their LEDs subjecting them to excessive voltage to appear bright and significantly reduce the life of the bulb. 2C Light is carefully engineered to ensure trouble free use.
Q) How long will the product last for?
A) 2C Light uses the highest quality components and comes with a one year manufacturers warranty on parts and labor. The electronics will operate for years to come. The batteries are engineered to last for an estimated 3 years. The LEDs will last for over 100,000 hours of use. The solar panel will be generating power for many years to come. Some discoloration of the plastic may occur with prolonged exposure
Q) Can I bend the peak shape?
A) The peak is partially flexible and pre-bent to the optimum shape for charging. Excessive bending will void warranty.
Q) Why is it called 2C ?
A) There are two ways to see – see and be seen. Also having light in your clothing means you can always see, even when taking it to sea.
Q) Is it waterproof / can I wash it / Does it float?
A) The 2CLight Electronics sealing is rated to IP66 industrial standard which means you can send 100 litres of water onto its sonic welded seals, bigger than any storm we can imagine, but please only short duration immersion, and hand wash only. It floats for awhile. Machine washing or submersion will void warranty.
Q) Is the 2CLight cap comfortable?
A) 3 years of research and development went into the 2C design to ensure a comfortable weight and fit, with an optimum power to weight ratio. This means it cannot be all lights to all people, but it can be a light that is light enough to be wearable and therefore always with you and efficient enough to be always ready for those times when you just need a light !
Q) What is SOS?
A) SOS is an internationally recognized distress signal using Morse Code. The 2C Solar Light Cap includes an accurately timed Morse Code SOS signal which repeats indefinitely and uses less power than normal full power use. If you are in need to sending a signal to an overhead rescue helicopter, engage the Morse code using two sets of double clicks. You will see a pattern repeated thus . . . - - - . . . . . . - - - . . . This is referred to as dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit.
