Overview
The Beacon 2 by Sinewave is a smart lighting solution that not only offers bright lighting but also comes with a built-in USB charger, eliminating the need for an additional charging unit. It emits a consistent, round beam of light with an intensity of 750 Lumens, making it perfect for off-road adventures.
What sets this light apart is its intelligent power management system, designed to work efficiently at varying speeds. It adjusts its brightness levels to 200 Lumens at 5 MPH, 500 Lumens at 10 MPH, and reaches its maximum of 750 Lumens at speeds of 13 MPH or more. This ensures optimal energy usage.
Additionally, this lighting unit offers the flexibility to connect with an external USB battery pack, which can also power a rear light if installed. This feature ensures that the light remains consistently bright at all speeds without any flickering. The unit is also capable of seamlessly switching between hub dynamo and external battery power as needed.

Features
Steady Light Output: Ensures consistent, flicker-free light even at low speeds of 3-4 MPH. Greatly reduced flickering at low speed enhances visibility and safety.
Integrated USB Charger: Charge devices like your phone or GPS directly from the light unit. Note that the USB charger is disabled in high-brightness mode to focus on illumination.
Flexible Power Options: Choose between an external USB battery pack or dynamo power. Powering lights via an external battery works for both the Beacon light and a rear light if installed.
750 Lumens: High brightness level suitable for various riding conditions.
Symmetrical Beam Pattern: Balanced, round beam ideal for off-road riding.
Low Brightness Mode: Allows reduced brightness when full power is not necessary. When the toggle is in the down position, only one LED will turn on, allowing simultaneous use of the charger and light with less conflict.
Standlight: Provides about 5 minutes of light when stopped, controllable via a toggle switch. The standlight charges even when the light is off, so it’s ready when you need it.
Blinking Mode: Available with external battery power. The light will switch between ‘steady’ and ‘blinking’ mode every time you move the toggle into the ‘down’ position.
Color Options: Customize the light’s color to match your bike or personal style.
Mounting Options: Compatible with various types of mounting hardware. No resistor is needed for a Supernova taillight.
Compact Design: Measures 58 x 42 x 42mm and weighs 115g.
Taillight Output: Controlled by the main light unit for a comprehensive lighting solution.
Better Color Temperature: Emits a warmer hue, reducing glare and eye strain.
Weatherproof: Features multiple seals and gold-plated connectors for durability.
