Congratulations on your choice of LEDX headlamp
The lamp has been developed with a focus on bright
light, low weight and several different fields of use.
Be careful; the light is very powerful, do not look straight
into the lamp when turning on the light. Due to the high
power it also emanates much warmth. Please make sure
that air can circulate freely around the lamp, this is extra
important when used at the highest setting.
The lamp provides a broad light close to the body and a
very long distance light.!It can be controlled in three
power levels which give around 20%, 40% and 100%.
The lamp is fitted with heat sinks that keep the
temperature low inside the lamp case. This contributes to
a stronger light since the light output diminishes with a
rise in temperature.
The head light can be complemented with a small
backup battery that attaches to the back of the
headgear.!It provides light for about 90 minutes on the
lowest effect.
The batteries are Li-Ion or Li-pole, have no memory and
must not be discharged before charging.!At delivery, the
batteries are only partly charged, charge therefore the
batteries before using the lamp for the first time.!Be sure
to use the correct charger for each battery.
Disconnect the battery connector when not in use.
The lamp case
Connect the battery to the lamp case. Be careful to fit the
white markings on the contacts to each other; if they are
incorrectly fitted and forced together the contact pins
might break.
Right Wrong
The switch is placed at the bottom of the lamp case. Light
the lamp by pressing the switch until the lamp turns on
(1-3s). The lamp starts on the lowest effect, default at 20 %,
use short clicks to up the effect. Turn it off by pressing the
switch until it turns off.
The lamp has a heat protection; if the lamp becomes
warmer than 75 ° C it slowly decreases the amount of
light in small steps. When the temperature drops it
automatically increases the light again. If you use the
lamp indoors it will adjust the light after the lamp
temperature. For outdoor use, the light needs to be in
motion to give 100%. There is an emergency built-in, if the
lamp has been covered or for any other reason reached
95 ° C, the lamp turns off completely.
The lamp case can easily be removed from the headgear
by lightly press the top part of the attachment plate and
simultaneously pull the lamp upwards.
The lamp is water resistant, but should not be used
underwater.
Batteries
The main battery is a Li-Ion battery; these are
characterized by a high capacity and low self-discharge.!It
is carried conveniently in a rear harness, waist or in a
pocket.!It is water resistant but should not be immersed
in water.!At delivery, the battery is partly charged, it must
therefore be charged before using the lamp.!Make sure
you use the correct charger when charging the battery.
The back up-battery (option) is a Li-Pol battery with high
capacity and low self-discharge.!It is placed in the battery
holder on the back of the head gear.!The back-up battery
is completely waterproof. It gives light for about 80 min
with 20 % power.!The lamp recognizes that the back-up
battery is connected and you cannot up the effect.
Both batteries must be kept cool and dry, if you store the
battery in the refrigerator, place it in an airtight box or
plastic bag to prevent condensation on the battery.!If the
battery will remain unused for a long time, eg!over the
summer, leave the battery half charged and in a cool
place.!If you do not use the battery during a long time,
you should charge it once a year to prevent that the
voltage drops to a dangerous level.!Never leave the

battery so that it is exposed to extreme heat, such as!in a
car on a hot summer day.!This would quickly shorten its
life.
Battery indicator
A battery indicator in 4 steps is built into the lamp.!To
activate the battery indicator; first turn on the lamp, then
hold the switch for about 4 seconds.!You will receive a
number of flashes that tell you how long you can use the
light before it's over, see table.!Works only on the main
battery, not on the back-up.
The times are approximates and are affected by battery
condition and temperature. When the battery is almost
depleted the lamp is automatically reduced to the lowest
power.!Then there are about 60 minutes left on low
power before the battery is completely depleted.!If you
have drained the battery so much that it goes down to
the 8% level, you should charge the battery as soon as
possible after using the lamp.

Follow this advice you give your battery a long life.
Charge the batteries with the included chargers.!Be sure
to use the correct charger for each battery.
The main battery is charged with the larger charger 1 and
takes about 5-6 hours to charge fully.!Do not discharge
the battery before recharging.
The backup battery is charged with the little charger 2
and takes about 3 hours to recharge.!Do not discharge
the battery before recharging.
The battery should be at room temperature when
charging.!The LED on the charger lights red when
charging and green when the battery is fully charged, it
then goes over to maintenance charging.!Don´t leave the
charger plugged in when not necessary, but disconnect it
as soon as you see that the battery is charged.!When you
unplug the charger from the socket also separate the
charger and the battery, otherwise the charger will slowly
discharge the battery.
Programming
The lamp can be programmed and adapted to better suit
your own needs. Click the switch 4 times rapidly to get to
the programming menu - the lamp will light up. Click the
switch one short click at a time with the amount of blinks
that correspond to the program you have selected, for
example after three clicks the lamp will blink three times
in a row. When you have reached the program you want

switch until the lamp shuts off. Do a test to make sure it is
the program you wanted.
Headgear

the battery mounted on the headgear. If you have the
battery on your back or in a pocket, there is another strap
at the back of the headband that you can use.
The battery is "snapped" firmly onto the hard Velcro, push
until you hear a “click". Remove the battery by pulling it
