How do you use the Guidelight?
You can use the Guidelight in three ways: as a flashlight, a focused spotlight, or soft ambient lighting. By rotating the colored globe, you can change the direction of the light; the dial on the side turns the lamp on and allows you to dim the light to your desired brightness.
Sometimes you want light that moves with you. Outside at the table, on the way to the shed, during a walk, or in a place where there’s no fixed light fixture. The Guidelight is made for those kinds of moments: you pick it up, turn the light in the right direction, and adjust the brightness to suit your needs. In this blog, you’ll learn how to set up the Guidelight for every situation.
Turning on and dimming the Guidelight
To switch on the Guidelight, turn the rotary knob on the side of the Guidelight clockwise (towards the + sign). By fully turning the knob, the Guidelight will shine at maximum capacity. To dim the light, simply turn the knob counterclockwise (towards the – sign). The brightness can be adjusted from a cozy 10% capacity to a bright full capacity.
Switching between the three functions
The Guidelight has three different functions. You can use it as a focused spotlight, a flashlight or an ambient light. To switch between these functions, you can rotate the colored head.
1. The flashlight
The head of the Guidelight can rotate 360°. By fully rotating the head upwards, the LED light will shine outside of the white body. Let the light shine forward, pick up the lantern by its handle and use the Guidelight as a flashlight on dark walks. Put it on full intensity to see where you are going!
2. The spotlight
To use the Guidelight as a spotlight, simply put it down and point the spotlight to where you want the light to shine. This way, you can use the lantern as a reading light or put the spotlight on a piece of art. You could also hang the Guidelight from the Guidelight Hook and create a type of wall lamp.
3. Ambient light
Are you looking for ambient lighting? Rotate the head down so the LED light shines down into the white body of the Guidelight. You will feel a click once this position is reached. The light will now shine out of the white body. Simply dim the light accordingly to set the right atmosphere. This function is ideal for dinner parties.
Charging the Guidelight
The Guidelight is charged via a micro-USB connector. A cable is provided in the box, but any standard micro-USB cable can be used. The USB port can be found on the side of the Guidelight; on the opposite side of the rotary knob. It is covered by a black rubber cap. Open the cap and you will have access to the USB port.
It takes 4 hours to fully recharge the empty battery. While charging, the indicator light above the USB port will flash. When fully charged, it will shine continuously. Once the battery is fully charged, it will last for 10 hours on full intensity and 150 hours on the lowest intensity.
Adaptable to any situation
Now that you know how to use the Guidelight, you can take it with you on outdoor adventures. The Guidelight will adapt to any situation you encounter, whether that is at an overnight camping trip or within the safety of your own garden.
