Light & Motion Vega LED light User manual

2007-2008 Bike Light Owner’s Manual

Congratulations. You’ve purchased the best bicycle
lighting system available—a Light & Motion Bicycle Lighting
System. We hope that our lights will inspire you to leave
your car at home, rediscover your old stomping grounds,
and ride your bike year-round.
To receive maximum benefit from your new Light & Motion
system, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with
your new light by reading the instructions.

Caution
Bicycling in the dark is an inherently dangerous activity
and no lighting system will guard you against inattentive
motorists or other night time hazards.
When not in use, ALWAYS unplug the light head from
the battery. When unplugging the light head cable from
the battery, always pull the connector, not the cable.
Please ride with an approved helmet and use extreme
caution. You should always carry an auxiliary light with
you and wear reflective clothing. Make sure your bicycle
is equipped with the legally required reflectors. ONLY use
Light & Motion chargers to charge your Light & Motion
batteries. Failure to do so will void the warranty and
damage the system.
Bench Testing
When testing the charge or functionality of your light while
stationary (off of the bike), it is important to run a fan
over the light while it is powered on. Failure to do so will
overheat the light and cause damage to the system.

Warranty
Light & Motion offers a 60-day warranty on halogen bulbs,
1-year warranty on HID bulbs, 6-months on all batteries,
1-year on all chargers and lifetime on everything else.
Warranty will be effective as long as the product has not
been tampered with or damaged in use.
Returning Products for
Warranty Evaluation & Repair
Should your system malfunction for any reason, contact
the Light & Motion service department at [phone]
to schedule service and receive an RMA number to return
your light to us. Please make sure to unplug the battery
from the light before shipping. All warranty and repair
product should be returned, with proof of purchase from
an authorized dealer, to:
