1. Clean the lamp housing with a clean, moist cotton rag so that no dirt can enter the housing.
2. Turn the front section of the lamp counter-clockwise until it can be removed.
Check that the reflector itself is not turning with it.
3. After unscrewing, pull the front ring from the reflector.
4. Carefully pull the reflector from its socket.
5. With clean, grease-free hands, push the new reflector carefully into the socket, being mindful
of the fitting groove.
6. Before screwing the front section back onto the housing, clean the threads on both pieces
with a cotton cloth.
7. While screwing the front section back onto the housing, check that the reflector is not turning with it.
The headlight can be cleaned with warm soapy water. Never use high pressure cleaners! To dry the
light, just turn it on for about 10 minutes. Do not leave light on for more than 15 minutes without riding
to prevent overheating. (The airstream assists in the cooling of your lighting system).
The connectors of Supernova Lighting Systems are absolutely waterproof and do not need any
maintenance. Please do not use contact sprays or contact greases.
Can I use the lighting system also without a cooling airstream ?
Is the lighting system waterproof ?
The lamp will become very hot during use! Do not allow the lamp to burn for extended periods of time
without riding - max. 15 minutes! Airstream is essential for the cooling of your lighting system. To
avoid burn injuries, the lamp housing should only be touched after it has been allowed to cool
sufficiently. The lamp´s ballast can be damaged if overheated.
The lamp housings and the battery have been sealed to resist water during normal weather
conditions such as rain and snow. Never intentionally submerge your lighting system in water. The
battery is sealed and should never be opened!

BURNTIME
INDICATOR
BATTERY FUEL GAUGE
Time remaining at a particular power setting can be displayed by
pushing button # 2 for one whole second.
Example:
Flashing white light displays hours, flashing green light
displays minutes in 15 minute increments.
The light flashes white twice
then green three times:
Time remaining is 2 hours, 45 minutes
The Microprocessor requires about 20 seconds to compute time remaining,
after changing the lamp to a different power setting.
The technology measuring the battery capacity is the most highly advanced and most exact for calculating
the remaining burn time today. Extreme cold can influence the measurements, however, and only a burn
time of up to nine hours can be maximally indicated.
Please note! The lamp should be disconnected from the battery when stored because the
battery gauge will be de-calibrated by the very low standby power consumption which cannot
be measured. Over a period of several weeks, the burn time indication may become falsified.
!
Calibrating the battery gauge:
The battery gauge needs to be calibrated from time to time to ensure exact measurements. This is
especially recommended after the lighting system has been stored for a long time or before its first
usage. To calibrate, just leave the light switched on in a cool place (ideally in front of a fan) until the battery
is depleted, then re-charge te battery for at least six hours.
A microprocessor in the Supernova battery monitors the energy flowing into the battery when charging, and
leaving the battery when it is in use. The battery re-calibrates itself each time it is completely charged. The
microprocessor receives the capacity information directly from the battery and computes the lighting time
remaining in conjunction with current energy usage. The remote control casing will illuminate in different
colors, to display directly how much energy remains. Color coding is as follows:
BLUE:
75-100%
GREEN:
50-75 %
YELLOW:
25-50 %
RED:
5-25 %
RED FLASHES:
0-5 %
