Default light mode

The specs for the 515 say it should last 16 hours in day flash mode. I've only been riding in the day and I've never set the mode specifically, and it seems to be lasting more like 8 hours. How do I get the 16 hours battery life?

I think it will be "High Visibility" mode, that gives you 16 hours.

When you turn it on, it's in a solid light mode. You have to press the button at the top to cycle thru the modes. Day flash, which has the longest life, is the third mode, IIRC. I believe it's solid -> peloton mode (dimmer solid) -> day flash -> night flash (solid + flash) -> light off -> solid, etc.

I have it connected to the Edge 830, which is overriding that

You can alter the default setting via the Edge unit, you have to go into the Light network settings which is in the sensor menu, choose network options, then you can choose the start up mode. This works on my 820, but not sure if the 830 has the same menu options
