Installing Seca onto your bike
Your Light & Motion Seca light head comes with a universal bar/helmet
mount. To install on your handlebar, determine the best place on the bar
to mount as it relates to your specific brake & shifter layout. Ideally, Seca
should be mounted as close to the stem as possible. After determining
the proper location, wrap the strap under and around the handlebar,
pulling it up and over the mounting post in front of the light (fig 15).
Note: Tighten the strap only enough to prevent slipping around the bar.
Pulling the strap too tight can eventually cause a premature failure
To remove, simply release the strap from the locking post

Installing Seca onto You
The Helmet mount is designed to be mounted on any standard,
vented bicycle helmet. Position the base of the helmet mount on top of
the helmet, in the middle and slightly forward of center. Slide the hook
and loop strap down through the proper vent, back up through the
opposing vent, and finally through the slot in the base of the mount. Pull
the strap tight and slide it back down the vent and affix it to the “loop”
side of the strap inside the helmet (fig 17). Now install Seca just like you
would on a handlebar (see instructions “Installing Seca onto your bike”).
Installing the Battery
Frame mounted battery:
All Light & Motion batteries are designed to mount on a bicycle frame
tube or seat post. Figure 18 shows battery curve on the 3-cell and 6-cell
batteries which are designed to rest against a bicycle tube. Pull tightly
on the strap and affix the end of the strap to itself via the hook-and-loop
mounting surface. Wrap any excess around the battery until the entire
strap is secured. There should be enough tension on the strap to prevent
the battery from moving freely on the tube or seat post.
When routing the plug, you may choose to loosely coil the excess cable
around the frame (fig 20). Make sure the cable has enough slack to move
freely when your handlebar is turned in the furthest position. This can be
accomplished by first running the cable over the handlebar, then back to
the battery. This will prevent damaging your light head in a crash.
