Common questions

Questions before you buy

Where can I find SwissTech headlamp instructions?

Use the manual or support details supplied with the exact light and match them to its model number. Retail listings may omit important charging or battery information.

Why is my SwissTech headlamp not charging?

Possible causes include an unsuitable cable or power source, a dirty or damaged port, or a battery issue. Follow the model’s instructions and stop if you see damage or unusual heat.

How do I know when a SwissTech headlamp is fully charged?

Indicator behaviour is model-specific. Check the manual for what the light or display means and the recommended charging time; do not infer charge state from another model.

Can I use a different USB charger with a SwissTech headlamp?

Use only a power source that matches the maker’s instructions for that model. Check the manual’s input requirements and do not use a damaged cable or adapter.
