How much voltage and current does this dynamo generate?
About 7V, 25mA pulses.
How many minutes does it take to fully charge a SPL standby lights capacitor for a first time user?
More than 20 minutes ride. Although the capacitor has been fully charged when we tested the product before ship out.
After the first time charge (standby lights capacitor), will the standby lights be always lit when I hold the brake?
Yes, because the capactor is always charged by bike's movement, unless you did something wrong, for example:
(1) There is no enough gap between metal needle and rear brake part.
(2) Your bike's rear-wheel brake is not in good working order (when you release the brake, the switch still contacted).
(3) When you park your bike, parking rail accidentally touched rear brake and switch on the standby lights, eventually emptied the capacitor. To avoid this, please make sure install the switch at left side of rear brake (as on our instructions).
Could I switch off the flashing lights in day time?
No. Unless you insert a switch in the system by your-self.
I have a strange bike which need extra wires between front and back, how do I do?
You can insert wires (in any length) as you like. Please make sure do not mix up the colour of wires. Fail to do so, the light system will not work. The best way to connect wires together is soldering.
There are disc-brakes on my bike, could I use the standby lights switch on them?
Not sure. We did not test this. Some customers told us they installed the switch on disk brake successfully.
What is standby light?
If you are stopped on road (for example stopped by red traffic light), and hold rear-wheel brake, 2 front white LEDs and 3 rear red LEDs (standby lights) will be switched on for about 2 minutes.
Your questions welcomed.
