What is the 2C Light?
It is a fully functional and very practical headlamp integrated into a fashionable cap
How long will it hold the charge?
For over six months.
Battery self-dissipation is approximately 6% per month. For long periods of storage we recommend fully charging before storage.
Can I read with it?
Yes, easily. We recommend using the variable dimmer to select a power setting to suit your needs. ( Press and hold )
Is the light annoying shining into other peoples eyes?
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.
Can I walk with this / What is the light range ?
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 over 10 meters.
Do the bulbs have to be replaced?
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.
How long will the product last for?
2C Light uses the highest quality components including a flexible amorphous solar panel made in USA, 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 or more. The LEDs will last for over 100,000 hours of use. The plastic is made from polypropylene with UV stabilizer - this protects the plastic from the sun whilst providing minimal impact on the environment. Some discoloration of the plastic may occur with prolonged exposure. The solar light module will most likely outlast the cap portion. Some colour fading of cap will occur.
Can I bend the peak shape?
The peak is partially flexible and pre-bent to the optimum shape for charging. Excessive bending will void warranty.
Why is it called 2C ?
There are two ways to see – see and be seen. Also having light integrated subtly into your clothing will means you will have the confidence of a light ‘to see’.
Is it waterproof / can I wash it / Does it float?
The 2C Solar Light Cap Electronics sealing is rated to IP66 industrial standard. This means which means you can send 100 litres of water per minute onto its sonic welded seals, bigger than any storm we can imagine, but please only short duration immersion, and hand wash under running water only. It floats for awhile. Machine washing or submersion will void warranty.
Is the 2CLight cap comfortable?
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 unexpectedly need a light !
What is SOS?
SOS is an internationally recognized rescue 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. See Morse Code
To increase the chance of being seen by the rescue helicopter, direct the LED beam straight at the pilot. They will see this over 1 kilometer away.
