How long does the LumiCatch battery last?
+
The battery life of the LumiCatch LED lamp depends on the brightness setting.
At 100% brightness the battery lasts about 9 hours on average.
At 60% brightness the battery can last up to 16 hours.
The lower you set the brightness, the less energy the lamp uses and the longer the battery lasts.
Is the LumiCatch waterproof?
+
The LumiCatch is splashproof and resistant to rain and damp conditions. This means you can use the lamp during a rain shower or in a humid environment without worry. Full submersion in water should be avoided, as the lamp is not designed for that.
How can I operate the LumiCatch?
+
You can operate the LumiCatch manually with the button on the pole or via the LumiCatch app on your smartphone.
Can I control multiple LumiCatch lamps at once?
+
With the LumiCatch app you can control multiple lamps at once. You always need a LumiCatch Base first. You can pair and synchronize one or more Support poles or BuzzOff poles to that Base. This lets you easily create a complete lighting setup that you can control centrally via your smartphone.
How do I charge the LumiCatch?
+
You charge the LumiCatch easily via USB-C. No charger is included, but you can use a standard USB-C cable together with a USB charger (for example your phone charger).
How do I know when the LumiCatch is fully charged?
+
While charging the red LED light flashes. When the light is steady, the device is fully charged.
What does the BuzzOff green LED mode mean?
+
The green LED mode has a mosquito-repellent effect within a radius of about 2 meters.
What is the difference between the Base and the Support?
+
The LumiCatch Base can be used on its own and forms the core of the system. The Support pole and the BuzzOff pole are extensions and only work when they are paired to a Base.
Can I use LumiCatch in winter?
+
Yes, LumiCatch is designed for a range of weather conditions, including cold, rain and wind.
How do I attach the LumiCatch to a tent?
+
There is a handy accessory at the end of the pole that lets you easily attach the LumiCatch to your tent. The pole is also extendable up to 1.43 meters so you can set the right height.
What can I do in the app?
+
With the LumiCatch app you pair and control your lamps via Bluetooth. You can turn them on and off, dim them and record your catches in a fish logbook with photos and notes. The app also notifies you when an update is available so you always have the latest features.
Why don’t I see my Support lamps in the app?
+
You only see the Base in the overview. You pair the Support (and BuzzOff) once in the app; afterward they are automatically controlled by the Base and no longer appear separately. You therefore only control the Base—all paired poles follow along.
What should I do if my LumiCatch Base won’t pair with the app?
+
For the first pairing you do not need to put the Base in pairing mode, even if the manual mistakenly says so. Pairing usually works as soon as you switch the Base on.
If it doesn’t work, turn the Base off and on again and repeat the process, this time without pairing mode. In almost all cases the app will then connect.
How do I reset my LumiCatch?
+
Reset by holding down the button on the Base or Support until the light starts flashing blue. Keep holding the button until the light turns red. Your LumiCatch will then be returned to factory settings and you can pair it again in the app.
Does the app work without an internet connection?
+
Yes, the LumiCatch app uses Bluetooth to connect to your lamps. So you don’t need Wi‑Fi or mobile data to control the lamps. An internet connection is only required to download updates.
Can I control multiple LumiCatch lamps at once in the app?
+
Yes, you can pair multiple lamps. The Base acts as the central hub: whenever you operate the Base, the paired Support and BuzzOff lamps automatically follow.
How do I know if my app is up to date?
+
You automatically receive a notification when a new version of the app is available in the App Store or Google Play. It’s important to always use the latest version so you benefit from improvements, bug fixes and new features.
Why does the app always show 75% battery?
+
The app currently displays a default battery percentage of 75 percent. This does not yet match the actual charge. An update is in development so you will see the correct percentage later. Until then, you can assume that after about six hours of charging the battery is usually around 80 percent, which is more than enough for a full night of fishing.
How fast does the LumiCatch charge?
+
Charging happens in two phases. In the first phase it charges quickly to about 80 percent, usually within six hours. After that the battery automatically switches to slower charging to extend battery life. Charging speed also depends on the charger you use. With a modern USB-C fast charger this is noticeably faster than with an older or less powerful charger.
What does USB-C Power Delivery mean for LumiCatch?
+
USB-C Power Delivery ensures that the LumiCatch charges faster and more flexibly. In addition, you can use the lamp as a power bank in emergencies to charge your phone, for example. That’s ideal if you want to stay reachable at the water’s edge.
Can the LumiCatch stay on while it’s being used as a power bank?
+
Yes, the LumiCatch lamp stays on while you use it as a power bank to charge your phone or other USB devices. That way you have light and power at the same time.
Why does the light flash or stay on during or after charging?
+
The light flashes while charging. Once the battery is fully charged the light stays steady. It may happen that after unplugging the light remains red or white for a short while. This is because there is still some power in the system and is completely normal.
How long does the lamp battery last on a single charge?
+
The battery life of the LumiCatch lamp depends on the brightness setting.
