Fully Charge your light before rst use.
Locate the charging port by pulling away the silicone Storm Cap.
Fully insert either the Smart Charger or USB top up cable and begin charging from a mains or USB
supply respectively.
If you are using the Smart Charger the LED on the charger will go red for the rst 95% and then go
green for the trickle charge.
On the back of the light there is a single LED which will ash green to indicate that it is charging
and then turn solid green when the light is 95% charged, then the remaining 5% is trickle charged.
NOTE: Sirius will require the 1.5A Smart Charger (EXPCHARGERSALES) from
www.exposurelights.com, to initiate trickle charge.
Located on the back of the light is the stainless steel Function Button and a single LED. The LED
indicates both mode and battery life remaining.
To turn the light on press the function button twice in quick succession, the light will then turn on in
the brightest mode.
To switch between high, medium and low modes press the function button once, repeat this
process to cycle through the modes.
The LED on the back of the light will initially indicate the mode the light is in:
Green – High.
Amber – Medium.
Red – Low.
After three seconds the LED on the back of the light
will indicate battery life remaining. See Fuel Gauge table (right).
To turn the light off hold the function button down until the light emits two ashes and then release.
NOTE: If you are using an Exposure Support Cell with the light then the LED will pulse green to
indicate the light is charging.

MAINTENANCE
LOW VOLTAGE FLASH (ZENITH, DIABLO, AXIS & JOYSTICK)
WARNING
FLASH MODE
Inspect and test your light and bracket apparatus before every ride.
Keep your light clean and free of dirt, be careful when cleaning any mud or dirt from the lens to
avoid scratching.
Never use a high pressure spray or hose on your light.
Do not use harsh abrasive or corrosive materials to clean your light.
For extended periods when your light is not in use fully recharge the light once a month, as a long
duration with no charge is detrimental to the cells.
To warn the user when the light has 10% or less of battery life left the light will ash. It is then
advisable, if it is safe to do so, to put the light in a lower setting to prolong battery life. See the OMS
section for more detail.
NOTE: The light will continue to give off these warning ashes, regardless of setting, until its
battery is charged back above 10%.
Please do not send any products back to us without contacting our service team rst to
discuss your issue and for a valid returns number.
All our lights come with a 2 year warranty. Lifetime warranty on emitters for the original owner.
If you have a servicing or technical question you can contact us using the information below. If you
return your light for repair no work will be carried out until you have been contacted with the cost
for the repair. If you are outside of the UK it would be quicker in the rst instance to contact the
local distributor.

We recommend using your Sirius in DayBright mode during daylight hours for your safety.
To activate DayBright your Sirius will need to be in Program 1 (see OMS section) and then activate
Flash Mode (see above).
Exposure Lights are very powerful lighting systems, please take care when operating. Do not
look directly into the light or shine directly at others, including other road users.
Do not charge the light in an enclosed place, or with the lens in contact with potentially
combustible material.
Exposure Lights / Ultimate Sports Engineering Ltd. accept no liability for any injuries or other
damages arising from the use of their product in any circumstances.
NOTE: Patents apply.
To activate the Flash Mode rst the light needs to be ON. Hold the Function button down and
immediately release after the light emits a ash. The Flash mode can be activated from any of the
constant brightness settings.
To return to the constant mode press the Function Button once. NB: The light will then return to the
brightest setting.
In Program 7 the Flash Mode is replaced with the Morse Code for SOS. For more information about
changing programs see the OMS section of this guide.

HANDLEBAR MOUNTING
HELMET MOUNTING (NOT SIRIUS)LANYARD FITTING (NOT SIRIUS)
The shorter arm of the QR Handlebar Mount bracket faces the front. The tab-end of the silicone
band fastens on the rear.
WARNING: Ensure that brake and other cables do not catch on the light or its bracket.
Try the short bolt rst - if this isn’t long enough use the longer bolt. Do not over-tighten.
NOTE: The angle of the light can be adjusted by rotating and tilting the ball joint.
NOTE: This information is etched onto the body of the light

TAP ACTIVATED POWER (TAP) – ZENITH, DIABLO & AXIS (NOT DIABLO SYNC)
OMS allows you to select a run time tailored to your needs from several programs. Run time and
lumen output are directly proportional, if you double the run time, you halve the lumen output.
Etched onto the side of the light is a table showing the different modes and run times available
within these different programs.
Your light will be in Program 1 from new.
To access the different programs, start with the light OFF.
Hold the Function Button down, the light will emit a set of ashes, keep the Function Button held
down and the LED on the back of the light, and the light itself, will start to regularly ash.
For example, if you want to put your light in Program 4 then you release the Function Button after
the fourth ash. The light will then remain in Program 4, regardless of if it is turned on or off, until it
is reprogrammed.
NOTE: This handlebar mount is not suitable for off road use. If you would like a handlebar bracket
for off road use you will need the Exposure Handlebar Bracket Set, which is available from all good
Exposure Stockists and www.exposurelights.com
WARNING: If looping around a handlebar be sure to do so enough times that the light cannot
fall into the front wheel. The Charge Port also functions as a ‘Smart Port’.
SPT+ works as an output and allows the light to power ancillary Exposure accessories, such as the
RedEye, whilst the light is on. SPT+ can also be used to turn your light into a power bank to charge
your USB devices.
SPT+ will automatically activate when the light is on.
You can also use SPT+ when the light is off, but you will need to activate it. To activate SPT+ hold
down the Function Button and immediately release when the light emits rapid ashes.
You can then charge your devices with the Exposure Boost Cables. However, please test your
device before intended use as not all devices may be compatible.
To deactivate SPT+ simply turn the light on and off again.
NOTE: Ensure that SPT+ is deactivated before charging.
NOTE: We do not recommend charging devices whilst using your helmet light as the battery can
drain considerably faster.
TAP allows the user to change the brightness mode of the light by tapping the body of the light,
rather than using the Function Button.
There are three sensitivities of TAP, for user preference.
To activate TAP, or to change the sensitivity of TAP, you need to use access Program 9 using the
Optimised Mode Selector (see OMS section).
When you release the Function Button the LED on the back of the light will be green for 2 seconds.
Whilst it is lit tap the back portion of the light to change sensitivity.

HELMET
INTELLIGENT THERMAL MANAGEMENT (ITM)
Thermistors in the lights circuitry allow automatic temperature regulation, maintaining efciency by
minimising energy wasted as heat, to maximise brightness and burntime. This leads to a longer
lifetime of the LEDs. When ITM is active the rear bi-colour LEDs will turn off until cooled; then the
LED’s will turn on and the higher output will be restored.
1 tap: Most sensitive.
2 taps: Medium sensitivity.
3 taps: Least sensitive.
4 taps: Deactivate TAP.
WARNING: Only activate TAP when the light will be helmet mounted.
