Safety instructions:
Warning!
Avoid looking directly into the light emitted by the light or shining the
light into your own eyes or the eyes of another person. If the light
accidentally shines into your eyes, close your eyes and move your head out of
the light beam. Do not use any strongly focusing optical device to look at the
light beam. In cases where the light is used in a public or commercial
setting, users should be provided with training concerning the safety measures
for laser light. This device may then be used by children 8 years of age or
older, persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, as well
as persons with no previous experience in handling such devices, if they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety .
Attention! Risk Group 2: Proven optical radiation! Do not look into the
lamp for a long time during operation. May be harmful to the eyes. The danger
of glare: The strong glare of the lamp can be temporary Eyesight and
afterimages feel like dying Irritation, authorizations, or treatment commands
can.
Re-charge your battery before you use the light. Carry a spare light with you
at all times, as the product can potentially fail unexpectedly at any time.
In the event of any physical or internal battery failure, do not attempt to
repair. No user-serviceable parts!
Heat generation: The housing of Blika may heat up; so make sure that you
always keep the light at a safe distance to any combustible or flammable
materials. Could cause fire or death! However, quiescent operation (without
cooling the light housing via airflow or the like) is possible at any time and
will not damage the product. When the light is being used in a stationary
state, the light will be dimmed after a few minutes to reduce the light’s
temperature. Continuous operation at 26 watts is only possible with air
flowing over the housing!
Important! Always disconnect the battery from the light at transport or
storage!
Otherwise, the small amount of power used by the electronics will discharge
the battery, and the lamp may be switched on accidentally.
Water resistance:
All Blika components are waterproof and can of course be used under extremely
severe conditions. The lamp complies with IP protection class 68 but is NOT a
diving lamp and is NOT suitable for use underwater.
Operation
Initialization & voltage display:
After connecting the lamp to the battery, the software runs a self-test; the
lamp itself as well as the red and blue LEDs in the switch light up once. The
battery voltage is indicated by the blue and red LEDs, as follows:
The blue LED flashes once for each volt; and then
The red LED flashes once for each 1/10 of a volt.
Example: The LED flashes seven times blue and five times red = battery
voltage is 7.5 V.
Interpreting the voltage display:
more than 8.0 V battery is fully charged
7.1 to 7.8 V battery needs charging
6.5 to 7 V battery is not ready for use
Control concept:
Operation via the buttons of the lamp head:
Top button: Operation of the main programs (see page 9)
Lower button: Operation of the special LEDs (Redlight, Greenlight, Spotlight,
Diffuselight)
Turn on:
The first press of the button switches on the light with maximum power. The
blue LED is illuminated.
Switching:
Each quick push of the button switches through the dim levels.
Turn off:
To turn off the lamp, keep the button pressed.
Note: The light outputs the maximum amount of light only if airflow
lowers the temperature of the light sufficiently. If the light is not cooled
by airflow, its power is reduced incrementally to prevent the LEDs and
electronic elements from overheating.
Meaning of LED colors
The switch on the lamp head is equipped with an RGB-LED to show information
about the dim level and the remaining battery capacity.
| blue LED lighting:| The lamp is on a high beam.
---|---|---
| green LED lighting:| The lamp is on a lower beam.
| red LED lighting:| 1. Battery Warning, low capacity remaining. The red LED
is lighting. You can adjust the timing of the battery warning, see programming
on the next page.
| red LED flashing + light flashing ones:| 2. Battery Warning, very low
capacity remaining.
The red LED is flashing and Blika flashing ones, too.
| blue + red LED flashing in turn + light flashing 5 times:| Warning!
With the red and blue LED flashes in turn, the lamp flashes 30 times. Stop
immediately! The light will be switched off.
**| blue + red LED flashing in turn:| After switching the light on again,
reserve power at a low beam is available. When reserve power is completely
discharged, the light will be switched off automatically. So slow down!
Note:** The burn time remaining after the red LED is illuminated depends
on the total battery capacity, the ambient temperature and the age of the
battery.
Dim Levels and Runtimes
Runtime varies according to battery age, condition, as well as ambient temperature.
Programming:
As you can see on the right side, the light programs are very easy to select
by simply keeping the button pressed until the button lights up blue, red, and
green. When taking your finger off the button accordingly, the setting will be
saved.
Example: To get into the 4-step mode, hold the button until the blue LED
flashed 4 times, then release the button.
Adjusting the brightness of the lower button LEDs:
The brightness of the spot, diffuse, red, and green light can be adjusted
in 5 steps from 0.4 – 3W (Red: max. 2.5W) through the lower button.
Helmet Mount
No tools are required for mounting this lamp. The helmet mount is already
mounted to the lighthead.
You can attach this helmet light to almost any kind of helmet with ventilation
openings.
Then pull the other end of the velcro through the ventilation openings available on your helmet and fix it on the other side of the helmet mount. Tighten the velcro to avoid slipping the lamp head during use.
Insert the lamp head into the FrontClick mount.
(Video support YouTube channel “LupineLights”)
With the provided battery mount 2.0 and the broad velcro, the battery can be mounted directly on the helmet.
Insert the lamp head into the FrontClick mount of the headband. (Video on our YouTube channel “LupineLights”)
With the provided extension, the battery may be carried in your backpack, a
pocket, etc.
The FastClick back part of Blika X 4 can be replaced by a cable guide back
part.
The FastClick battery have to be attached to the FastClick mount on the headband with the cable looking downwards.

Mounting Batteries
Battery mounting:
Your battery is supplied with a velcro strap, coated with anti-slip material
to ensure a secure mount. Use the strap which most closely matches your tube
size.
Battery type:
The Hardcase battery is mounted with velcro as shown here. So-called Smartcore
batteries also come with a capacity indicator as explained on the next page.
FastClick batteries don’t have a loop for velcro.
However, they can be directly put into the click system of the FastClick head
belt or 3M click system.
Capacity Indicator
Audible:
To check the capacity, simply press the touchpad once. At first, an audible
signal will sound, which is especially useful while using the battery mounted
on a
helmet or headband, to give a quick reading in 20% steps.
Visible:
The visible indicator uses 5 red LEDs. The LEDs can operate in two different
operating states: blinking and continuous. LED meanings:
A blinking LED is indicating a 10% step and a continuously glowing LED a 20%
step.
Taillight
To run the taillight simply press the touchpad two times and the 5 LEDs will
operate continuously. To switch off the taillight, simply press the pad again.
Moving light:
Press the touchpad three times to activate the moving light. To switch it off
press the button another time.
