The earlier model lights (no longer available) were bike lights that were only 'splash-proof' and could stop working if immersed completely. Drying out and use of a water dispersant spray can help 'save' a light if it has been soaked.

How durable are the mounts?
The computer cut aluminium mounts are very durable. They are one piece and have no fragile or sharp shapes. The mounting screw is stainless steel. The only parts that may wear are the shock cord safely lines and, if poorly treated, the suction cup. Many parts are interchangeable and replaceable.

What batteries do the lights use?
The various lights use different battery types. These are:
• Guardian light uses 2 x CR2032 batteries (same as NK Speedcoaches).
• Tadpole light uses 2 x CR2016 batteries.

How long will the batteries last?
The efficient nature of LED lights means that you should be able to get at least 50 'safe' hours from a set of new batteries. After this time the lights may still work, but will not be visible from the same range as they would with fresh batteries.

Can I change the batteries by myself?
Yes.

Only one light model, the Tadpole, is awkward when it comes to changing the batteries. It requires some disassembly of the mount and then a very small 'jewellers' screwdriver to open the light casing.

All other lights are easily accessible and it is very simple to change batteries.

Is there any maintenance to be done?
The lights can be maintained by occasionally removing the batteries and checking for corrosion. Application of a water dispersal spray can also help.

The suction cup should be kept clean to ensure a good seal.

Can I buy spares?
Yes. You can buy spare lights and some other fittings.

If your light breaks, retain the mount and save money by only needing to purchase a replacement light.

Do the lights comply with the law?
If installed and used correctly, the lights will comply with most local regulations.
