Preparation
Charging the Battery
The battery comes pre-charged at 40% from factory, but we recommend loading the battery before first time at 100%, 3 to 4 hours should be
enough. This will increase battery discharging time. Please charge until the little red led in the charger turns green, that means the battery is
completely charged. The charger has an integrated auto protection mechanism.

Userguide
•
The Lithium-ion battery gives 2-3 hour burning time at 100% (depending on outside conditions (cold, less burning time) and 'age'
of the battery. When going through town, on flat roads, on lit roads or on climbs, we recommend using the 30% mode. Like this you
avoid molesting upcoming traffic and you save energy as well. Remember, 900 lumen is a lot of power...
•
We recommend focusing the inside beam at about 10 to 15 feet in front of the front wheel in order to improve contrast. The
outside beam is less bright, very wide, and serves as orientation light and relaxes the sight.
•
Both, light and cables are designed to avoid water damage as per IP66 standard for weather-proofness. Nevertheless, try to avoid
to get the
Half Egg 1500 NG-3 completely wet and try to avoid the battery to get wet.
•
After each use keep the
Half Egg 1500 NG-3 in the included pouched bag.
•
If you carry the
Half Egg 1500 NG-3 on your helmet, please be careful for overhanging beams on the trails, as well for low 'ceiling'
and narrow trails, in order to avoid the light to be caught and you ending up on the ground.
•
When there is aprox. 15 minutes of energy left, the led will start to strobe for a couple of second as a warning.
•
We improved significantly the heat conducting system. The light will still warm up (this will, under no circumstances effect the led)
so we recommend not to touch the surface of the light when it has been burning for an extended period of time. We advice to put
the light in 30% mode or Off mode when you are not moving.
Recommendations
MTB is an extremely nice activity but not free of risk. At night, this factor increases. Never go on a night ride alone. Even thought the
Half
Egg 1500 NG-3 gives an extremely bright light, at night the surroundings take a different dimension and it is very easy to get disoriented
NaturalShine only uses high end materials and our products are designed to receive small impacts. Nevertheless, we recommend to avoid
direct impacts.
While standing still, it is better to leave the
Half Egg 1500 NG-3 at 30% mode; you will increase battery time and save energy.
