Garmin RTL515 Light Modes

I've had my Edge for a few years, but given up on using it because the light modes seem completely unreliable. Firstly with the unit on its own the light modes do not match the modes in the manual. I seem to have two bright modes before I get to the peloton pulsating mode. I don't seem to have a daylight flashing mode in the cycle. Often I find that I select a mode and later find it has changed mode, often to standby, which is why I just don't trust the light.

Now reread the manual twice, tried playing with the settings in my Garmin Edge 1030, but the unit seems as confusing and unreliable as ever. Is there some settings that just ensures it behaves like it does in the manual, when you press the device button?

  • If you have an app that you use to control the light from the device, as soon as the Varia connects, it sets the light to the settings it was last used in the app. Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of someone changing modes on their own. What firmware do you have?

  • This is only the first time I used the app. I did check that I had the latest firmware with Garmin Express and I do.
