F.A.Q.s

The TridenX is designed to be used on bikes in some of the most extreme

outdoor conditions. Over time, dust and dirt may hinder the connections on

your battery and headlight. To prevent this from happening, ensure that

both the battery and headlight are clean after every ride.

Wipe the headlight and battery down with a damp cloth. Do not submerge

the battery or headlight in water. The DC jack grommet on the headlight

occasionally needs lubrication. We recommend using a bit of vaseline to

ensure easier connection between the plug and headlight. Remove all dirt

around or on the plugs or jacks on both the battery and headlight.

The High-Brightness LEDs have extensive life so bulb replacement is not

required.

CARECARE

CARE

The headlight will not turn on.

•Make sure the power button was firmly pressed.

•Make sure the battery cable is properly connected.

•Make sure the battery is fully charged.

The headlight turns off over rough terrain.

•Make sure battery cable is securely plugged into the headlight.

•Make sure battery cable is fastened to the handlebar to

minimize cable vibration.

The TridenX features a BICYCLING MODE with 4 brightness mode, and a

SPECIAL MODE with 3 flashing, and a walking mode. These modes are

controlled by the power button and OSP button on the top of the headlight.

On top center of the headlight are 4 indicators that show which setting the

headlight is in with the rear indicator also functioning as a battery level

indicator. The diagram and instructions below indicate where these features

are located on the headlight and how to properly use them.

CAUTION: The light may get hot during use. Handle with care and turn

light off if stationary for more than 10 minutes.

CUSTOMIZE LIGHT SETTINGS

OSP is the first smart technology by Cygolite that gives you the freedom

to customize your preferred brightness settings and flashing speeds directy

to your headlight anytime, anywhere. You can use the factory default

settings or use the OSP button to customize your preferred settings.

NOTE: Boost mode and Walking mode are non-adjustable.

WARNING: Use discretion when programming the TridenX while riding. Do

not program your light during times that require total attention. Cygolite

cannot be held responsible for injuries that may occur during riding.

TO RESTORE FACTORYDEFAULT SETTINGS

While the light is ON, press and HOLD the power button for 7 seconds. The

light will turn off, then turn back on with the factory default settings.

THERMAL PROTECTION

The TridenX features a built in thermal protection to prevent the light from

overheating. The thermal protection will automatically dim the light (approx. 15%

brightness reduction) until the light cools to a normal operating temperature. At

that time, the light will return to its normal brightness.
