Questions
How bright is the BC28R headlight?
2500 lumens with a beam distance of 591 ft (180 m), per Fenix, from a Cree XHP50D white LED. An anti-glare cut-off line in the beam reduces glare for oncoming traffic and pedestrians. A red COB taillight completes the set, and both lights use polycarbonate lenses.
How does the taillight sync with the headlight?
Wirelessly. Per Fenix, you pair them once, then change taillight modes from the headlight switch, and the headlight displays the taillight's current mode. The taillight cycles through Low, Low Slow-flash, Low Fast-flash, High and High Slow-flash, and holding the headlight switch puts the taillight on standby.
How long does the BC28R run on a charge?
Up to 52 hours, per Fenix, the set's maximum runtime. The headlight runs on one replaceable Fenix ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 21700 battery, which is included, and the taillight has a built-in 400 mAh battery. Both charge by USB-C, and Fenix notes 21700 batteries need a charger of 2 amps or more.
Can the BC28R handle rain?
Yes. Fenix rates the set IP66 for heavy rain and gives it 1.5 m impact resistance. The headlight shows battery level with a low voltage warning, and an intelligent memory circuit recalls the last output when you turn the lights back on, except for Turbo and Flash.
Which mounts come with the BC28R set?
Per Fenix, the box holds a bike light mount, a seatpost mount, a mounting strap, the ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 battery, a battery compartment key, a USB-C charging cable, a spare O-ring and a spare mounting shim. Fenix backs the set with a limited lifetime guarantee from Fenix Lighting USA.
