BT20 is a specially designed professional bicycle light for bicycle enthusiasts. It delivers a max 750-lumen output.
Employing the pioneering dual distance beam system, the upward beam of BT20 is refracted by the lens, forming an auxiliary beam in the front area of the wheels where ordinary bicycle light can not reach. With its advanced aspherical light cup design and broad beam distance up to 156m, it can bring the users a broader view in the night riding.
The active fashion style of BT20 conforms to the aerodynamics design with small wind resistance and fast heat dissipation; it is quick to attach and detach using O-ring mounting straps sized for 20mm-35mm handlebars; moreover, the direction of the headlamp can be adjusted freely, which brings you more convenience.

Fenix TK15(S2) Flashlight

Fenix TK15 delivers a max 400-lumen output and 252m throw with one 18650 battery or two CR123A batteries. The innovative side switch flows between four brightness levels and Strobe mode. Tough, durable and waterproof to IPX-8 standard, TK15 will be your reliable partner when hunting, searching and rescuing, etc.






Operation Instruction
Press the tail cap switch lightly to activate the flashlight momentarily (without any press, it will be off); Press the tail cap switch completely to turn on the flashlight and lock it. Another press will unlock it and turn it off.
When the flashlight is on, a single press on the side mode switch in the front will select the brightness levels in the order of Turbo→Low→Mid→High;
Press and hold the mode switch button for about one second to enter into the Strobe. It will flash between 6Hz and 15Hz every two seconds.
Under the condition of Strobe, a single press on the mode switch button will return the flashlight to the general mode.
The flashlight memorizes the last brightness level used in the general mode even after changing the batteries (it will not remember any flashing modes). The next time you turn on the flashlight, it will light up at the last used general mode.
Overheating protection: TK15 will accumulate a lot of heat when it is working in Turbo output. To avoid overheating, the flashlight will automatically transfer into the high brightness level after working in Turbo output for over 30 minutes. If the Turbo output is needed continually, just reset it again.
