Q What battery life does the Droid have?
A On standard flash mode, the Droid lasts for 36 hours
Q Can I use my standard allen key bolts?
A Yes you can!
Q How many Lumens?
A 120 at full power, but it’s the spread of these that make the Droid so visible.

Q What if I lose the specialised tool for removing the anti-theft bolts?
A Not to worry, you’ll be able to order replacements both from us, and other online shops.

A Yes, when you order, please leave a note confirming, and we will provide with a locking collar instead of the faceplate mount.
Fitting Instructions

Front light fitting
- Remove your current faceplate with a standard Allen key
- Hold your Droid light in place and gently thread all 4 bolts into place
- Carefully tighten the 4 bolts, evenly across all of them
- Tighten to around 5nm of torque (just enough to stop your handlebars rotating)
Do not overtighten, and if damaged do not use.
Rear Light fitting
- Choose the appropriate size hinged collar
- If necessary, make a shim out of old inner tube for the correct size and fit
- Tighten the bolt until light will not rotate on seatpost
Do not overtighten, this could strip the aluminium thread.
