For Fanny Pack 4, Drawstring Backpack 3 and Crop Top 3. You control them with the NEBULITE | HELIO app and the Remote Control 5.
Switch on
- Connect a charged USB power bank to the USB plug. Fanny Pack 4: behind the zip inside. Drawstring Backpack 3: the cable in the main compartment. Crop Top 3: behind the hook-and-loop closure in the right inside pocket.
- Switch the power bank on if it has a button. The power bank is sold separately.
- Nothing lights up? The light was switched off before. Press ON on the remote or switch it on in the app.
To switch off, press OFF on the remote or in the app, or unplug the power bank.
Tip for the Drawstring Backpack 3: the power bank can also go in one of the outer side pockets. Open the zip at the bottom of the back and thread the USB cable through the rubber grommets into the pocket you want.
Connect in the app
- Leave the bag connected to the switched-on power bank.
- Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and open NEBULITE | HELIO. Allow Bluetooth or Nearby devices access if your phone asks. Older Android versions also ask for location access to scan for Bluetooth devices.
- Your bag appears on the app’s Home screen. Tap it, choose your product if the app asks, then pick colours, brightness and effects.

Pair the remote
Out of the box, your piece responds to any Remote Control 5 nearby. Once you pair yours, it only listens to that one.
- Unplug the power bank and plug it back in.
- Within 20 seconds, press and hold ON. The remote is now paired. If it was paired already, this unpairs it.
To clear all paired remotes, plug the power bank back in, switch the lights off with OFF within 20 seconds, then press and hold OFF.
Replacement: Remote Control 5.
If something isn’t working
Nothing lights up
Check that the power bank is charged, switched on and firmly connected. Then press ON on the remote.
The lights go off after a short time
Most likely the power bank has switched itself off. Some power banks turn off after about a minute when your piece draws little power. Blinking uses the least power and steady light the most, so choose an animation that is lit more often than dark, or use a NEBULITE power bank with a very low auto-off limit.
The app can’t find the bag
Check that the power bank is on and the bag lights up. Close any other light app that may still be connected to the bag, keep your phone next to it and tap Scan again.
Fanny Pack 4: reconnecting the controller
Only needed if you’ve taken the black controller out. Unplug the power bank first; the pack, connectors and electronics must be dry. Open the rear zip and the white zip behind it, and reconnect the controller to the two connectors without forcing them. Put the controller and USB cable back without catching the cables in the zips, then reconnect the power bank and press ON. If the connectors look different, send us a photo before connecting anything.
