1. FIRST THINGS FIRST
The first thing you need to do with your new light is to charge the battery. This normally takes from 5 to 7 hours,
but can sometimes take up to 8.
Plug the AC power adapter into a 100 – 240v power outlet (usually either 110 or 220 depending on your country)
and then plug the battery into the cord coming from the power adapter.
Now if the battery still needs to be charged, the led indicator on the adapter will turn red. The light on the AC
adapter will turn green when the battery is fully charged.
Please do not take the plastic off the battery pack. The plastic covering
keeps the batteries dry and clean.
Plug the charger into the
power outlet. When the
charger is plugged into
the power outlend and is
NOT connected to the
battery, the charger light
should be GREEN
Once the battery is
plugged in, the light on
the charger should turn
RED
When the battery is
charged up, the
light should go back
to GREEN

CHARGING RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations, in addition to those precautions above, should be followed when charging Lithium Ion batteries to ensure the
avoidance of potentially catastrophic fire or explosion.
Charging should be performed in a fire-safe area, away from children or pets. For maximum safety, a metal trashcan with lid placed on a non-
flammable surface is suggested. Never charge batteries unattended, or where objects such as carpet, furniture, wood or vinyl floors, curtains or
other flammable objects are present.
Charging should be performed at a temperature between 40°F and 110°F (4°C and 43°C). Never charge below 40°F (4°C).
Do not attempt to charge a battery that is swollen or bulging. Use only supplied charging cables and connections. Make sure connections are in
good condition. Do not allow the charging polarity to be reversed or short-circuited. If equipment is connected during charging, equipment
should be switched off. As a delayed chemical reaction can occur if a fault is present, observe the battery in a safe place for at least 15 minutes
after charging is complete.
A healthy battery should only get slightly warm during charging. If the battery becomes hot, smokes, swells, or gives off an odor during charging,
terminate charging immediately and contact the manufacturer. Note – the charger itself may get quite warm to the touch when charging a
deeply discharged battery.
SAFE DISPOSAL OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
Lithium Ion batteries contain elements that may pose health risks to individuals if they are allowed to leach into the ground water supply. In some countries, it may
be illegal to dispose of these batteries in standard household waste. Fortunately, many recycling facilities exist that process lithium ion batteries, in part due to the
value of the materials contained within the individual cells. In the United States and Canada, a large network of over 30,000 battery drop-off locations may be found
at www.call2recycle.org.
To render the battery safe, apply tape over any exposed connectors to prevent the accidental shorting of the positive and negative terminals of the battery during
transport. Place each battery into its own plastic bag, seal the bag, and deposit the battery into the recycling container. NEVER dispose of the battery in a fire or
incinerator, as the battery may catch fire and explode.

2. HOOK UP THE LIGHT!
Once the battery is fully charged, unplug the power charger and
disconnect the cord from the battery pack. Now place the light onto
the desired location on your handle bars, and wrap the 2 thick o-rings
from the front clips, stretching it all the way under to the back clips.
You can cross them diagonlly if you want a little snugger fit.
Secure the battery pack onto the bike frame using
the Velcro straps. You can place it under the seat
post, or anywhere it’s convenient. Take the 2
electrical cords and wrap them around the top part
of the bike frame leaving enough room for you to
plug the male and female plugs together. You can
use zip-ties or Velcro straps to do this.
Once plugged together, your light should turn green on the button behind the light. Push the
button to make sure the light turns on. You are now ready for a new bike adventure. Enjoy!!

3. AFTER YOUR RIDE
Unplug the light from the battery pack and plug the battery back into the charger when you are done riding for the
day. There is a slight drain on the battery if left connect to the headlight. One of the best things you can do to
maintain the life of your battery is to charge the battery each time you finish using the light.
4. STORE YOUR LIGHT SAFELY
Keep the box for storage!
If you don’t use this bike light often, keep your bike light (especially the battery) stored in a cool
and dry area. Excessive heat or direct sunlight can make the electrical cords, battery and other
accessories become brittle and weak over time. If you are planning on storing it for a long period
of time, please try to take it out every few weeks to give the battery a fresh charge. Like any
rechargeable battery, your battery will slowly drain while not in use. If left for long enough (several
months) it may drain low enough to damage the battery
There is no need to run the battery down to get better results as has been the case with older non-lithium-ion
rechargeable batteries. Just plug the battery into the battery charger no matter what charge level your battery is at.
If you decide to ride for longer periods of time, we suggest that you buy another battery pack as a back-up, and for
safety. You can get a spare battery by CLICKING HERE.
We do carry a 1-year defect warranty on the battery. Since lithium-ion batteries lose small amounts of life after
each use, or while sitting idle while completely dead, the warranty will be for a full charge that lasts less than a 1-
1/2 hours in that first year.

5. DRY OFF
If your bike light or other accessories get wet often, it’s a good idea to dry those areas off.
Even though this light is waterproof, small pools of water such as on the metal lip next to
the glass lens can corrode the glass, making it harder for the light to shine as brightly. The
nylon battery bag can also deteriorate over time if it’s always wet.
6. TAILLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting the Taillight
Simply wrap the taillight around the seat-post underneath the seat, with the light aiming towards
the back. Press the button in the middle, making sure that all 3 light modes work, and that the
light is bright and ready to go.
Replacing the Batteries
Pull the red silicone rubber from off the back. There will be a white plastic round cover in the
back of the light. Remove that cover and there will be 2- CR2032 batteries under the cap.
Replace those with 2 new CR2032 batteries. Carefully put everything back in place the way you
took it apart. (There may be a small number of lights that have the smaller 2016 battery in it.)

7. BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR LIGHT
The back of the headlight will go from a solid green to a flashing red when the battery
is in need of a charge
Once the low battery light comes on, switch the light to low immediately. This
cut down on power usage to help you get home, and not leave you in the dark!
This new LED Cree technology is a little different than the dimmer LED lights that you
may be used to. This light will stay bright until the end of its charge. When it’s dead, it
will ABRUPTLY turn off. To help set the correct expectations for your potential run
time, here are the maximum times we have measured. (Please note that this applies
to winter-time use. Higher temperatures zap energy from the battery resulting in
slightly lower run times)
Mode
Maximum Runtime
High- 1200 Lumens
5+ Hours
Medium- 800 Lumens
10+ Hours
Low- 350 Lumens
24+ Hours
Strobe (Fast and Slow)- 1200 Lumens
6+ Hours

8. TO STABILIZE THE LIGHT AND MINIMIZE MOVING OR SLIPPING
While riding on rough terrain and in other challenging trail situations, of course you want your light to be stable with
minimal moving or slipping. We've only had a few customers that have raised a concern with this, but I want to
make sure that all of our customers get the most out of their light, without compromising functionality. Certain
handlebars might be a little too thin for the O-Ring setup, allowing the light to slip a little when riding on rough
terrain.
Here are 3 things that you can do to keep this from happening:
1. Roughen the rubber mounting O-ring with sandpaper. This will give the O-ring more grip, keeping the headlight in
place.
2. Wrap electrical tape or friction tape around the handlebar where the light will be mounted, making it thick enough
to tighten up the O-ring. On the last wrap, twist the electrical tape around, exposing the sticky side of the tape. This
will also help keep the headlight in place.
3. A customer of mine who rides his mountain bike down rough trails recently wrote me an email, explaining that he
went to the local hardware store and bought a can of Plastic-dip and sprayed it on the handlebar area where the
light is to be mounted. Since doing this, his light has never slipped. So if you don’t mind doing that to your
handlebars, this might be a good solution for you.

9. HELMET MOUNT
If you want to use your light on your
helmet you can either put the entire
head strap over your helmet, or you
can use just the plastice mounting
piece.
If you want to use the plastice
mounting piece, just slip the straps
off of the mount and attach it to your
helmet with zip ties or velcro straps.
Customer service is our number one priority! You can always contact us either through the email
[email protected], through our website www.brighteyesproducts.com, or through Amazon’s
email system if that is where you made the purchase.
Thank you for your business, and we hope you enjoy your light!
Sincerely,
Don
