Lights red and green
Most compact tracers only light green tracer BBs. Brighter R lights red tracer BBs too, with no switch to set: load either colour and it lights every shot, up to 35 a second. ACETECH rates red tracer BBs up to 35 rounds per second in full auto.
| Tracer BBs | What you see |
|---|---|
| Green tracer BBs | Load green tracer BBs and every shot leaves a green trail, up to 35 a second. |
| Red tracer BBs | Load red tracer BBs and the same unit lights them red. No switch: Brighter R lights whichever tracer BBs you use. |
Brighter R does not light standard or gel BBs: use red or green tracer BBs.
Will it fit your gun?

Check the barrel
The inner barrel must stick out less than 10 mm past the end of the thread. Longer, and it covers the Brighter R sensor.
Charge it
Turn the lid anticlockwise and charge Brighter R over USB-C. The first time, charge at least 3 hours.
Close the lid
Lock the lid back by turning it clockwise and Brighter R switches on.
Fit it
Fit it on your 14 mm CCW thread, on an 11 mm CW thread with the adaptor, or put it inside a mock suppressor.
| Inner barrel past the thread | Brighter R |
|---|---|
| Less than 10 mm | Clear of the sensor |
| 10 mm or more | Covers the sensor: 3 beeps every 2 seconds |
Measure from the end of the thread to the end of the inner barrel.
