The GlowCap has one button. Tap, hold, and you are done.
Using the GlowCap
| Do this | To do this |
|---|---|
| Tap the button | Switch on, and then step through the colors |
| Hold for 1 second | Change the brightness |

Colors
Each tap moves to the next one: white, red, purple, blue, turquoise, green, gold and rainbow (which cycles through the colors by itself).
Brightness
When you hold the button for 1 second, the color shows which level you are on:
| Color | Brightness |

| Green | Medium (the default after waking from sleep) |
| Yellow | High |
| Red | Blinding |
The default after you switch the GlowCap on from sleep is the rainbow color mode at medium brightness.
About the power source
The GlowCap uses a lithium-ion capacitor (LIC). LICs are safer and more rugged than traditional batteries and last a long time, without the risk of fire or explosion.
- Charge it fully before storing it for a long time.
- Keep it away from liquids and metal (conductive) objects. Fast discharges shorten its life.
- Recycle it with your normal electronics. You do not need to separate the capacitor.
