This small box controls up to 5 Lupine lights through Bluetooth (click to enlarge).
Bluetooth connection
Let’s say you’re a fanatic night rider – wouldn’t it be nice to turn on and off your lights at the flick of one button? Lupine offers this possibility by connecting the Piko, Wilma or Betty over Bluetooth. One button controls up to 5 lights at the same time. However, Bluetooth offers more possibilities: through an app on your smartphone, you can set up the sequence and the respective power of the different power modes.
Juiced up light output
Upgraded, the light output of the small Piko is now 1500 Lumens, the middle size Wilma is already a staggering 3200 Lumens, and the Betty is the powerhouse of the trinity with a gigantic 5000 Lumens.
What’s coming up?
- Betty R: 5000 Lumens, Bluetooth remote + App
- Wilma / Wilma R: 3200 Lumens, Bluetooth remote + App
- Piko / Piko R: 1500 Lumens, Bluetooth remote + App
- Rotlicht optimized
- Rotlicht saddle rail mount
- USB Charger
The Bluetooth controller can activate multiple lights at the same time (click to enlarge).
Bluetooth
Piko R, Wilma R and Betty R are coming up with an integrated Bluetooth Module and a Remote Control. Thus it is possible to control one or up to five lights directly from the handlebar – with lightning speed, without delay, without cable and without any security risk.
A special Lupine Light Control App for iOS and Android will also be available in a few weeks. This App makes it possible to adjust the lighting levels of our lamps from the smartphone, to control the headlights directly or get unique status information.
The new Piko R brings huge 1500 Lumens and is only a few millimeters larger than its predecessor (click to enlarge).
Piko R
The Piko R has been completely redesigned and is simply better at everything. It is more powerful and more efficient, thanks to newly developed high-performance optics. Above all, the lateral illumination or beam width, as well as the lighting range, were significantly improved.
The new Piko R brings huge 1500 Lumens and is only a few millimeters larger than its predecessor. But the latest generation can do even more. The Piko R has Bluetooth and can be controlled by remote control or mobile app.
