Bush + Müller 2C permanent - rear light / reflector - USB rechargeable
The snappily named 2C permanent is quite an unusual light (to us) - it is a bracket mounted rear light with built in reflector, which is powered by USB instead of replaceable batteries
It's our go-to rear Brompton light and we like the fact it's rechargeable rather than using those old fashioned batteries!
We think it's called permanent as it mounts to the bike (rack or Brompton bracket) using two screws - -then the light itself snaps out of the mounting for recharging
Built in Z reflector for safety when the light is off / has no power / to comply with the highway code
It has a bracket which fits permanently to the rack (or Brompton reflector bracket) and can connect using 50mm or 80mm widths (Brompton uses 50mm)
Patented lens system creates two wide light areas from two high output LEDs
Power lasts for approx 15 hours at full power - as the power (from the lithium battery) starts to reduce, the light gradually dims
There is a battery power indicator on the light - when the light shows yellow, please charge
The battery charge indicator also shows the charging state - yellow means it is charging, off means it is fully charged
The light is removed from the bracket to charge (this allows access to the USB socket located on the back of the light)
