Here are three steps to illuminate your bike:
- Slide the enclosed clips onto the CargoGLOW Stripes at even intervals (approx. 20-25 cm). The clips fit precisely into the groove of the stripes.
- Connect the connection cable to the Y-cable, connect one of the CargoGLOW Stripes directly to the Y-cable, and connect the other CargoGLOW Stripe first to the USB-C extension cable and then to the Y-cable.
- Attach the stripes to the poles of your rain cover using the clips.
- Simply attach a suitable power bank (not included) and you're done!

If you'd rather do your own research, here's all the information you need. Basically, there are two different CargoGLOW versions.
- CargoGLOW Single = One strip with a length of 1m, operating voltage 5V, power approx. 6 watts.
- CargoGLOW Double = Two strips, each 1m long, operating voltage 5V, power approx. 12 watts.
So, for CargoGLOW Single you need a power bank with 5V and at least 1.2 amps , and for CargoGLOW Double you need a power bank with 5V and at least 2.4 amps .

Frequently Asked Questions about CargoGLOW (FAQ)
1. CargoGLOW with dimmer cannot be switched on.
First check – remote control:
If no small red LED lights up or flashes on the remote control, the battery is empty.
→ Please check or replace the remote control battery first.
Problem:
Even if the red LED on the remote control is lit, CargoGLOW still cannot be switched on.
as soon as the dimmer is connected between the power bank/battery and CargoGLOW.
No matter which button is pressed, nothing happens.
CargoGLOW works when connected directly to the power bank without a dimmer.
Cause:
Many power banks automatically switch off the power output when they detect very low power consumption.
CargoGLOW requires very little power when starting up – especially via the dimmer.
As a result, the power bank does not recognize an active device and does not supply a stable power supply.
Solution (recommended):
CargoGLOW works reliably with the Anker PowerCore 20100 when the low-power mode is activated.
Here's how to activate low-power mode:
- Simply switch on the power bank as usual.
- Shortly after, press the power button a second time briefly.
- A small green LED lights up – the low-power mode is active.
After that, CargoGLOW can be switched on and controlled normally with a connected dimmer.
