A On standard flash mode, the Droid lasts for 36 hours

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.
