REDSHIFT SPORTS Arclight PRO Flat Smart LED Bicycle Pedals
Product Information
The Arclight Pedals are a set of pedals that come with light modules that provide visibility and safety while riding a bike. The pedals are designed to be screwed in using an 8 mm hex wrench, and it is recommended to tighten them to 35 Nm using a torque wrench to ensure that the pedals won’t become loose over time. The left pedal screws in by turning counter-clockwise, while the right pedal screws in by turning clockwise. It is important to correctly install the right vs. left pedals to avoid damage.
The light modules that come with the pedals have three modes:
Steady light, flash, and EcoFlash, with battery life ranging from 3+ hours to
36+ hours depending on usage and conditions. The pedals have an auto On/Off
functionality that turns off the light modules after 30 seconds of no movement
and enters standby mode. After 150 seconds of no movement, the light modules
enter Sleep Mode, and after 24 hours on Sleep Mode, they completely shut off
and need to be manually turned on by pressing the button. The light modules
are compatible with Arclight Multi-Mount (sold separately) allows you to mount
your Arclight light modules to be used as a front or rear visibility lights on
additional locations such as the bike seat post or handlebars.
