EXPERIENCE THE REVOLUTION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2
Congratulations! You are now the owner of a Gloworm X2.
Prepare to Experience the Revolution in LED Adventure Lighting!
Safety Instructions
An alternative light source should be carried at all times.
Heat Generation
The aluminium light-head is designed to draw heat away from the LED. The
process works effectively when air is flowing over the light. However, the light can
become hot if left stationary on its higher settings. It is recommended that the
light is set to a lower setting when stationary for more than a few minutes.
Important! If the light is being used in a stationary state and it begins to become
hot it will automatically reduce current as a measure to reduce the light’s
temperature and protect the electronic components. Constant operation at high is
only possible with continuous air flow.
Battery Care
•Never leave a battery unattended whilst charging,
• A battery should never be exposed to direct heat,
• Only use the supplied li-Ion charger when charging the battery,
• Batteries do not need to be discharged before charging, frequent charging will not
cause harm to your battery.
• When storing your battery, ensure it is at charged to at least 50% capacity. Store
in a cool dry environment inside an airtight container.

Mounting the X2
Helmet Mounting
The X2 comes mounted to the helmet mount, this can be attached to almost any
helmet using the supplied Velcro (or cable ties). Attach the light by looping the
velcro through the vents of the helmet.Tip: Many helmet vents slope toward the
front of the helmet. Mounting the helmet toward the front of the helmet helps
prevent the light slipping forward during use.
Bar Mounting
The bar mount is designed to fit flush with the stem. From this position the X2
can be adjusted to any position around the circumference of the bar.
Pre-stretch the o-ring prior to use then loop it over one side of the bar mount.
Place the bar mount flush with the stem then stretch the o-ring around the bar
and loop it over the opposite side of the mount.
Headstrap
The light is attached to the headstrap by threading the headstrap elastic through
the slits in the helmet mount. The elastic is then secured to the headstrap
backplate. Adjust the straps to your preference.
Battery
The battery can be attached to/placed in any location that suits the user, i.e. Top
tube, back pack shoulder strap, in back pack, in riding jersey etc. To ensure there is
enough cable to reach your desired battery location use the provided extension
lead. A protective adhesive foam strip is supplied.

Quick Start and Operation
Overview
The X2 is operated using the remote switch. Operation of the X2 is through
different types of button press:
CLICK quick press, less than 1 second
DOUBLE CLICK similar to that used with a computer mouse
PRESS 2 to 3 seconds
HOLD hold button in the down position
The X2 is pre-loaded with two default programmes each of which can be
customised to your needs (detailed in the next section). Each programme features
‘Normal Operation Modes’ (NOM) and one ‘Special Mode’ (SM).
Start
Once the battery is connected, the X2 is ready to be used. CLICK to start the
light in TRAIL programme (Default 1). DOUBLE CLICK to start in COMMUTER
programe (Default 2). NOMs (High, Low, etc) are cycled using a CLICK. The SM is
accessed with a PRESS of the switch from any NOM. A CLICK of the switch will
return the X2 to NOM.
To turn off the X2, HOLD the remote switch. The light will cycle through SM, then
it will turn off.

IMT and Programme Customisation
Intelligent Mode Technology (IMT) allows the X2 to be refined for any adventure. The
X2 is loaded with two programmes that can be customised on the fly.
DEFAULT 1 - Special Mode and three light level modes
DEFAULT 2 - Special Mode and two light level modes
The user can adjust the brightness of each light level mode in addition to being able to
select the type of SM for each programme (DIM, FLASH or BEACON).
Light Level Brightness Customisation (NOM)
1. Switch the light to the NOM (light level) you wish to adjust. 2. DOUBLE CLICK, the
light will give 2 quick flashes indicating you can commence customisation. 3. Increase
the brightess in 10% increments using a CLICK (when 100% brightness is reached the
light will give 2 quick flashes), dim the brightness by HOLDING the button. 4. Once the
desired brightness has been reached, DOUBLE CLICK to return to normal operation.
Special Mode Customisation (SM)
1. When in SM, DOUBLE CLICK the button. 2. The light will give 2 quick flashes
indicating you can select your preffered SM. 3. Cycle through the three options using
a CLICK. DIM is inidcated by a dim light, FLASH is indicated by two flashes every 1 sec
and BEACON is indicated by a quick bright flash at 2 second intervals. 4. Once the
desired SM has been selected, DOUBLE CLICK to return to normal operation.
Master Reset
When the light is off, HOLD the button for 15 seconds to restore to factory settings.
After 15 seconds the light will flash rapidly 10 times and then turn off. This indicates
factory settings have been restored.

Battery
Voltage Indication
The battery’s fuel gauge allows the user to monitor the battery capacity at a
glance. There are four LED indicators (20%, 40%, 80%, 100%) located on the
battery that will glow independently as the voltage decreases.Additionally,
when voltage reaches a critical level the X2 will alert the user by emitting a flash
sequence.
Charger
The X2 is supplied with a Li-Ion Smart Charger. The charger has an LED indicator
to let the user know when the battery has completed the charging process. Simply
plug the charger into the wall socket (power off) and then connect the battery to
the charger – the LED indicator will glow GREEN.Turn the power on at the wall
socket and the indicator will glow RED and the charging process will commence.
When charging is complete the indicator will glow GREEN.
Important! Always disconnect the battery from the light when not in use! The
small amount of power used by the electronics will discharge the battery,
additionally the lamp may be switched on accidentally and consequently cause an
uncontrolled heat build-up. If you intend not to use the lamp for a longer period of
time, fully charge the battery and store in a cool and dry place.

Battery Care
The following steps should be taken to conserve the life of your battery.
• Always store your battery in a cool dry location
• Prior to storage, ensure your battery is charged to 50-70% (not full)
• Your battery will not develop a memory, you can charge and discharge as
you like
• Keep your battery away from direct heat sources
• Only charge using a smart charger, an addition to the batteries protective
circuit, this will prevent over charging
• Optimal battery use is between 15% and 85%. Our batteries are designed
not to exceed these limits. Feel free to charge and discharge as needed
• A battery should be able to complete 500 cycles prior to losing capacity.
• Part charges and discharges are not equal to a full cycle. Several part
cycles are better for the battery that 1 ‘full’ cycle.

POOR BATTERY CARE WILL VOID WARRANTY

Changing the Optics
The X2 is supplied with 2 installed optic lenses. Additional optics can be purchased
from your supplier. To change optics follow to the process below:
1. Remove the X2 from the battery.
2. Remove the two front screws using the supplied 2mm hex tool.
3. Now remove the front plate, the protective lens and the o-ring.
4. Carefully remove the optic; you will now see the LED – TAKE CARE: Do not touch
the LED or the electronic board/connections, doing so will leave body oils on the
surfaces and potentially damage the X1.
5. Place the new optic/s into the X2 so the top of the optic is flush with the front of
the housing.
6. Replace the o-ring, the protective lens and the front plate.
7. Tighten the front screws until the front plate is flush with the housing. Do not
over tighten.
ANY OTHER DISASSEMBLY OR MODIFICATION OF THE LIGHTHEAD/BATTERY/
CHARGER WILL RESULT IN VOIDING THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
