I did not know that… might explain why mine fades to black within moment of coming to a stop. That’d be highly annoying if so, time to go and check
C4r1s-
That's exactly what mine does. It looks exactly the same as my (presumably 6V) ones that I have used for years now.

"To be totally sure that the headlight’s capacitor itself works, you can disconnect the tail light and take a quick spin around the block. If the headlight has standlight function afterwards, you can be quite certain that a 6V tail light will also work in standstill.
Unfortunately, indeed we don’t ship to UK anymore since Brexit… but our UK distributor Amba should have these lights in stock, please get in touch with them."

£78 hahaha ROFL I could fly to Germany and buy one there for less than that.
hippy
Found out why the standlight isn't working. Turns out there's 2 versions of Supernova taillights that look basically the same, save for voltages etched on one side (6V or 12V).
"the 12V version will only work while riding, but the capacitor in the headlight is not strong enough to supply it in standlight mode. At the same time, it drains the capacitor very quickly, so the standlight function of the headlight itself also suffers. If you use the 6V version, you should have no problems."
Guess which version mine is? So, anyone got a 6V Supernova rear light than want to sell me?
