I bought a 2nd-hand Lenovo USB-C PSU (ADLX65YLC3D) which indicates a range of voltages (20v, 15v, 9v, 5v) on the label. Tried to charge a few different bicycle lights but the charging indicators did not light up on any of them. I almost tossed it because the 2nd-hand market I bought from is definately dodgy. But then I tried to power a Rasberry Pi and it seems to work on that. So wtf? An a/c adapter either works or it doesn’t. What would cause this: works on some devices but not others? The Rasberry Pi needs 5v just as the bicycle lights. That is the default voltage for USB-c.


They are actually headlights. The kind that strap to your head, which I happen to use for cycling. I suppose they were intended for joggers. I don’t know the makes but it’s two different manufactures, likely some cheap chinese stuff. One is an LED strip across the forehead with a side beam, 7 or so different functions with different colors and intensities. The other has selectable red, white, or yellow colors, blinking or solid.
Zebralight makes some good stuff headlight wise, and pretty sure Sofirn or Wurkkos would have some more affordable stuff.
