It features both day and night lighting, with lateral radiation making it visible to motorists, and a luminous rear button. With its light-dark sensor, it can switch from day lighting to night lighting. The day lighting LEDs emit full power during the day, while they are turned off when the night lighting LEDs are on.

When stationary, it still works thanks to its position light function: energy is stored in a capacitor, allowing the headlight to remain on when the bike is stationary. It also has a connector for the rear light, with the cable required to power the rear light included with the headlight. It is also sold with a white reflector that screws under the headlight, and mounting keys.

This dynamo headlight is designed to be powered by a 6-volt, 3-watt dynamo hub.
