1.) R EAD EFORE U SE !
General:
Congratulations! You have just bought the brightest single LED Lamp – no other will give you
more light in this size!
The light and harger are ready to use immediately. Please read this instru tion manual
arefully and ompletely to familiarise yourself with all the fun tions. Before hitting the trails,
first try the system at home to prevent any surprises while riding.
As with any other ele tri al devi e, there is a slight han e of failure at any time. Please be
aware and use with aution.
Lupine a epts no liability for any injuries or other damages arising from the use of this
produ t.
Rechargeable attery:
The battery is supplied with a very small amount of harge. Before use it must be fully
charged (see hapter 4 "Charging"). The re hargeable Li-Ion battery will rea h its full power
after 1 harge y le.
It might become hot!
The TL 700 is not a simple tor h. The lamp housing an be ome very hot if used without
airflow. Do not tou h the lamp during or immediately after use.
If lamp is used without any airflow temperature control will reduce light power
stepless up to 3 W after some minutes automatically.
Dazzling:
The TL700 is a powerful light. Always use it with are and with respe t for others. Do not look
dire tly into the light.
Waterproof?
All omponents of the TL 700 are splash proofed and will withstand even the most extreme
onditions. However, it is not a diving lamp and therefore not suitable for use under water.
Warranty:
The two year warranty overs defe ts in materials or workmanship only. Batteries are not
overed by this warranty. Modifi ations to the light or improper use also voids this warranty.

2.) U SING THE LIGHT
Initialising:
After connecting the lamp to the rechargeable battery part , the software will start a
self- test, the Power LED will flash once. The batteries voltage will be indicated with
the blue and red LED, please read more in the section “ Hints “
Now the TL 700 is ready for use.
Switch on:
By pressing the swit h for the first time, the beam starts running on maximum power
( ex ept the low start is hoosen ) .
The blue LED will glow.
Dimming:
Pressing the button on e, after the light has stabilised, will swit h the light to low beam.
By pressing the button again the light will go up to high beam. After pressing the button again,
the light return to low beam mode.
3 steps: 12 W 2 steps: 12 W
4 W
1.5 W 1.5W
Switch off:
You can switch off the TL 700 by pressing the button longer than 2 seconds.
After you have turned off the lamp ( but battery is still onne ted ) blue LED will glow for some
se onds.
Reading the consumed capacity:
After turning off the lamp the onsumed apa ity will be indi ated as follows:
First, the blue LED will blink 1 time per complete ampere hour,
then the green LED will blink 1 time per 1/10 ampere hour.
Example: The blue LED blinks 1 time and the green LED 5 times = the gone apa ity is around
1,5 Ah. This information will help you to judge the a tual ondition of your re hargeable
battery before the next use.
Hint: PCS will ount the onsumed apa ity always if the lamp unit is onne ted to the battery
part . But if the battery part is dis onne ted, ounting will start from the beginning.
Controlling the remaining light time:
The ele troni s not only ontrol the high and low beam; they also prote t the re hargeable
battery against over-dis harge and in lude a low battery indi ator.
Low battery is signalled by the red LED.
Yellow LED lights: Significant amount of the capacity is gone!
Red LED lights: Very low capacity, only some minutes runtime !
Red LED flashes: Reserve tank activated
It is a matter of experien e to interpret exa tly how mu h time is left after the LEDs light up.
Remaining burn time depends on the battery's age and apa ity and the operating
temperature.
Hint: When the red LED light up you an in rease the remaining burn time with e onomi al
use of the high beam.

Reserve tank:
When the battery is almost empty (red LED have flashed for several minutes already) the lamp
swit hes off automati ally. By double li king the swit h the reserve tank is a tivated, whi h
provides some additonal time of emergen y light. The flashing red LED indicates the
reserve tank has been activated. The performan e of the reserve tank also depends on the
battery ondition.
When the reserve tank is empty, the light will swit h off and must not be restarted.
Never store a discharged battery. Recharge your battery as soon as possible!
4.) C HARGING THE RECHARGEA LE ATTERY
Components:
The harging system of the TL 700 onsists of two omponents:
-AC/DC adaptor
-Mi ro-Charger
The Mi ro-Charger was developed for use with Lupine’s high urrent Li-Ion re hargeable
batteries from AC/DC adaptor or with additional available 12 V ar adaptor.
Connection:
Plug the AC/DC adaptor into the mains. Plug the adaptor into the so ket of the Mi ro-Charger.
After a short green flash the Mi ro-Charger flashes orange and will be now ready to harge.
Charging:
Plug the re hargeable battery into the Mi ro-Charger’s onne tor and harging will start
automati ally. The orange LED and the blue LED light.
Keep the rechargeable battery plugged into the Micro-Charger until the green LED
lights.
Charging is now omplete; the battery is full and is now ready for use.
Reading the charged capacity:
After dis onne ting the battery the Mi ro-Charger will indi ate the harged apa ity as
follows:
First, the orange LED will blink 1 time per complete ampere hour,
then the green LED will blink 1 time per 1/10 ampere hour.
Example: The orange LED blinks 1 times and the green LED 5 times = the harged apa ity is
around 1,5 Ah. This information will help you to judge the a tual ondition of your
re hargeable battery before use.
Hint: You don’t have to wait for the whole voltage information to be shown in order to use
your harger again. You an stop the harge information at any time by onne ting the
battery.
Caution!!
Mi ro-Charger is designed to harge only Li-Ion batteries!
You must not use this charger with Ni-MH batteries or unrechargeable batteries!!
They will explode!!
Mi ro-Charger should not be opened by the user as this will invalidate the warranty.
Explanation of the LEDs:
Orange: Charging
Green: Re hargeable battery full

needs. Out of the box, the TL 700 omes with a 2 step mode. Available are several other
settings:
2 step mode low ( 12 W + 1.5 W )
2 step mode high ( 12 W + 3 W )
2 step mode with disorientation mode ( 12 W + 12 Hz )
3 step mode with SOS ( 12 W + 1.5 W + SOS )
4 step mode ( 12 W + 8 W + 4 W + 1.5 W )
1 step mode ( 12 W )
stealth mode on ( no light on the swit h )
stealth mode off
low start on ( starts with the lowest lewel )
low start off
Programming is easy , simply press the switch and hold it down until the light
flashes the required number of times and then release.
If the light is turned OFF and you start the programming sequence, please ignore the
first light flash. If the light is turned ON when you start the programming sequence

Hints
Voltage:
After onne ting the battery part to the lamp unit, the voltage will be indi ated as follows:
First, the blue LED will blink 1 time per volt,
then the red LED will blink 1 time per 1/10 volt
Example: The blue LED blinks 7 times and the red LED 5 times = the voltage measured is
7.5 V. This information will help you to judge the a tual ondition of your re hargeable battery
before use:
Between 7.5 and 8 V : fully harged. Between 7 and 7.5 V : Re- harge battery if it is not an
older battery. Between 6.5 und 7 V : Not ready for use.
Hint: You don’t have to wait for the whole voltage information to be shown in order to use
your lamp. You an stop the voltage information at any time by swit hing on the beam.
Note: Even if the Power-LED is faulty, the LEDs will flash as above. If the light does not
iluminate despite a su essful initialisation, the failure is not aused by the PCS but from a
serious damage.
Capacity control
The PCS monitors the apa ity of the re hargeable battery by measuring the voltage.
Unfortunately voltage and apa ity are not exa tly proportional whi h is why Lupine does not
quote an exa t remaining apa ity when the yellow and red LEDs light up. It takes some
experien e of using the lighting system to tell exa tly how mu h burn time is left when the
yellow LED lights up. A ordingly, it also varies how mu h burn time is left when the red LED
lights up. The fa tory default apa ity ontrol will be suitable for a long time. It is not
re ommended to hange the apa ity ontrol until you have experien ed a remarkable loss of
burn time.
5.) C ARE AND S TORAGE
Lamp:
All omponents should be leaned with warm soapy water, but do not use a high pressure
spray or hose to lean the tor h. Please make shure that the battery part is onne ted properly
to the lamp unit.
Opening the Screw Top - moisture inside the lamp:
Little moisture on the inner side of the front glass may o ur. This is no serious problem and
easily to solve.
Open the asing. Please open the s rew-on top on the front of the asing: Hold the ba k part of
the asing with one hand, with the other hand, turn the srew-on top ounter- lo kwise. Having
removed the top, you an see the refle tor, the front glass and the sealing.
Please notice the right assembling :
Reflector – glass – silicone O-ring.
Please allow all parts some minutes to dry properly. Sometimes it’s also helpful leaning the
glass with a soft small towel.
Then it’s time to re-assemble your Tesla.
First insert the O-ring sili one sealing properly in the top. Please insert the glass into the top.
Now you an lose the top.

Important: The top must be screwed onto the thread in the correct position. If the
thread runs smooth, the top is in the right position. Otherwise, please stop, re-screw
the top and try again or you might damage the thread. Please be cautious!
Please make sure that the top is really closed completely, otherwise the casing will
not be waterproof.
Transport:
In ase you transport your light in a bag or a box so that the button might a identally be
pressed: Always unscrew the battery part from the lamp unit.
Storage:
For short periods of time, store the battery fully harged. Disconnect it from the lamp unit.
Before using the system again, re- harge the battery fully. If you intend not to use it for a
longer period (over 3 months), we strongly recommend to store the battery in a cold
place. This will prevent the battery from over-dis harging.
