Do iLED bags need a special phone or app?

No special hardware required. The free iLED app runs on any iOS 14+ or Android 8+ phone and pairs over Bluetooth 5.0 LE in under three seconds.

What battery do they use? Is it included?

iLED backpacks run on any USB-C or USB-A rechargeable powerbank (not included). This means you can hot-swap a fresh pack instead of waiting for a built-in cell to charge — and the bag itself never ages out. The M1632 LED cap has a built-in rechargeable battery.

Can I upload my own pixel art and animations?

Yes. The companion app ships with a DIY pixel-art editor for drawing frame by frame, plus a library of thousands of pre-made animations and GIFs you can load instantly.

What resolution are the LED panels?

It depends on the model. The M1632 cap runs at 16x32 RGB, the Astronaut backpack at 32x60, the Knight 3260 series at 32x60 per eye, and the flagship Knight HD 4096B at 48x96 per eye for finer text and smoother gradients.

Is the LED panel waterproof?

iLED panels are splash-resistant for normal commuting and night-out use, but they are not rated for sustained rain or full submersion. Stash the bag during a downpour or cover the panel.

How do I clean the bag?

Wipe the ABS shell and panel with a soft damp cloth. The canvas body of the Knight series can spot-clean with mild soap. Don't machine-wash — the LED electronics are integrated into the shell.
