Setup
Mounting the Lights
The Grid 2'Fer lights feature a versatile mounting system for easy attachment to your bicycle. Both lights can be mounted using the integrated silicone strap or clip.
- Handlebar/Seatpost Mount:
Secure the light to your handlebar (front light) or seatpost (rear light) using the flexible silicone strap. Ensure the strap is pulled tight for a secure fit. The light should be positioned to provide maximum visibility without obstructing your view or controls.

Charging
The Grid 2'Fer lights are equipped with a USB-C charging port for convenient recharging.
- Locate the USB-C charging port on the light. This is typically covered by a rubber flap to protect against water and dust.
- Open the rubber flap and insert the USB-C end of the provided charging cable into the light's port.
- Connect the USB-A end of the cable to a powered USB port (e.g., computer, wall adapter, power bank).
- The battery gauge LED (integrated into the power button) will indicate charging status:
- Green: 100-50% charge
- Orange: 50-25% charge
- Red: 25-0% charge (time to charge)
- Once fully charged, the LED indicator will change (refer to product-specific behavior, typically solid green or off). Disconnect the light from the charging cable and securely close the rubber flap to maintain water resistance.
