FAQs
FAQs
How are they anti-theft lights?
The Droid is bolted to your bike using anti-theft bolts, and because we provide the necessary bolts to secure other components, you can also protect your handlebars and shifters, and saddle.
Is the Droid waterproof?
Yes, the Droid is waterproof, and designed to remain on your bike in all conditions.
What battery life does the Droid have?
On standard flash mode, the Droid lasts for 36 hours
Can I use my standard allen key bolts?
Yes you can!
How many Lumens?
A 120 at full power, but it’s the spread of these that make the Droid so visible without being blinding.
Can I see the road with it?
No, the Droid is designed as a ‘Be Seen’ light for Urban settings. It will get you home rolling slowly in a pinch, but this is not what we designed it for!
What settings does The Droid have?
The Droid has 8 settings, High, medium, low in both constant and flash. Two further daylight settings are snake mode and random flash (one LED at a time on full power).
Is it possible to adjust the angle of the light?
Yes! The Droid has a 30-degree angle of adjustment.
How does it charge?
We provide a 3m long USB-C charging cable. Store your bike somewhere without power? A USB power bank will keep you topped up, or undo just one anti-tamper bolt to take your light inside!
What if I lose the specialised tool for removing the anti-theft bolts?
Not to worry, you’ll be able to order replacements both from us, and other online shops.
I want to buy a front light, but don’t want to fit it on the faceplate – is this possible?
Yes, when you order, please leave a note confirming, and we will provide with a locking collar instead of the faceplate mount.
Fitting Instructions
Fitting Instructions
Check out our 90 second how to fit video here.
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 just enough to stop your handlebars rotating and no further – overtightening could cause fatigue followed by failure
- Do not overtighten, and if damaged do not use and contact us for replacement parts.
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.

Very impressed with the design of these lights. Bought a rear light after having previous lights stolen. This light is much better than the plethora of other lights on the market which all have similar flaws.
The USB-C port is great and the included cable makes it really easy to charge with a power bank or plugged into a wall.
Would recommend – worth the money.

I have been using my Droid Anti-Theft lights for 20 months now without issue. I love both their form and function – they look so sleek when mounted, they shine brightly and hold their charge exceptionally well. The security bolts have also proven to be fit for purpose. I am writing the review now, as after a small prang I thought I would need to replace my front light due to damage, only to discover I could order the required spare parts from the website for a very low cost. A triumph for sustainability!

I loved the dynamo lights on my old bike for easy commuting, but noticed the hub drag on weekend rides and struggled to justify the cost when I bought a new bike. These lights are a perfect and much cheaper alternative. Think they’re one of the few bike lights with USB C too.
My gravel bars were too wide for the stem mount, so I used the included clip on bracket (not sure if this is standard?), which fits nicely with room for an out front stem mount for the Wahoo/GPS.
Nice that it includes the security bolts too.

I’ve used the droid twice a day at least 4 days a week for three months and I haven’t had to charge them yet! Very bright and I love that I don’t have to take them off and put them on again when I go to the shops on the way home.

I had to cycle in to York every day for Jury Service and it was great to be able to leave these on the bike and know they would still be there when I got back to the bike. They are well made and give a bright light – whichever mode you choose. Ordering another set for my wife’s bike.

great lights, that do what i want
i bought these lights as i live in a city and i’m fed up having to take my lights off when i’m nipping in to shops etc. not only to these lights solve this problem, they are incredibly well built lights, very bright, great run time. They are easy to set up, easy to charge given the long cable it comes with.

Really nicely made lights, seriously bright and very long runtime
