SILVA EXCEED 4X – THE FLEXIBLE, MODULAR HEADLAMP
Exceed 4X is designed for Multi-activity Sports. Here is a description of the
different options:
ADJUST THE HEADBAND
The headband is ergonomically shaped to give comfortable fit. Use the 2 buckle adjustments to fit it perfectly to your head. Detachable top band included. Attach the headlamp in the head bracket by sliding the headlamp foot into the snap-in socket. To remove, slide the headlamp up and out of the bracket.
BATTERY CARRYING
The battery pack can be carried in multiple ways; for example on the headband by using the battery holder, in a pocket, backpack or on the waist by using the extension cable and cable guide (rear), or mounted on the bike frame by using the Velcro strap (not included). The ergonomic battery holder keeps the battery in place and improves the comfort when you carry the battery on your head. You attach the battery holder to the headband and then easily slide in the battery.
MODULAR SYSTEM
In order to move the headlamp body from the headband to either the helmet bracket or the bar mount (not included), gently push the lamp upward relative the head plate with head band. Insert the headlamp body in the new bracket and gently press it down until you hear a click sound.
HELMET ATTACHMENT
The helmet bracket + rear cable guide comes with pre-mounted adhesive tape on
the back for easy mounting on any helmet. The adhesive is a polyethylene foam
tape developed to not damage or cause any type of weakness to the plastic in
your helmet. To mount the helmet bracket, remove the protective film covering
the adhesive tape. Make
sure the surface of the helmet is clean and dry. Press the bracket onto its
correct position. If you do not want to use the adhesive on your helmet the
attachment is prepared for mounting with 2 or more straps on the sides. (Not
included) Attach the headlamp in the helmet bracket by sliding the headlamp
bracket into the snap-in socket. To remove, slide the headlamp up and out of
the bracket. Attach the cable by using the back cable guide or integrated
helmet strap. Depending on helmet type, it might be preferable to use the
Helmet mode – Flow light deactivated, when the headlamp is used on a helmet.
The headband is designed to fit on a helmet by detaching the battery holder –
thus giving you the flexibility to use either the included helmet bracket or
to just snap the headlamp onto your helmet and go.
DURING USE
SILVA INTELLIGENT LIGHT AND FLOW LIGHT
SILVA Intelligent Light optimizes the light pattern by the unique combination of a long reach spot light and a close flood light. With less head movements and a clear view of near as well as far obstacles, you gain the balance and confidence it takes to move fast and perform better. Our ingenious SILVA Flow Light takes the optimization even further by providing seamless tuning of the light pattern for your favourite sport. Simply tilting the light downwards makes the beams wider to brighten up slower activities. When tilting the headlamp upwards, the light reaches longer to provide perfect vision when you move fast.
SWITCH ON YOUR HEADLAMP
A push button is located on the left side of the headlamp body. This button
controls all light modes.
- To start the headlamp with Flow Light activated press push button with a short press.
- To start the headlamp with Flow Light deactivated press and hold push button for 1 second
- To cycle between the different modes use short presses.
- To turn the headlamp off press and hold button for 1 second
DEACTIVATED FLOW LIGHT
Flow Light deactivated means that the Light image will remain unchanged even if the headlamp is tilted up or down. This might be useful when the lamp is mounted on a helmet or a bike handle bar.
BOOST MODE
Exceed has a Boost mode that temporarily increases the light output to 2300 lumen during 10 seconds.
To enter Boost mode, do as follows:
- Switch headlamp ON (with Flow light activated or deactivated)
- Keep the power button pressed until headlamp turns OFF and keep pressing the button until the headlamp switches back ON.
- Headlamp has now entered Boost mode
- The light will remain in Boost mode for 10 seconds and then return to the light mode from where you entered Boost mode (for example MED)
Note! During the 10 seconds the headlamp is in Boost mode it is not possible to use power button.
TEMPETRATURE CONTROL:
This headlamp might get hot. The headlamp temperature is depending on light
mode, ambient air temperature and airflow (speed). Make sure to keep it away
from children. Also, make sure it will not get in contact with sensitive or
flammable material.
NOTE : Always make sure to disconnect the battery when the lamp is not is
use.
Why does the light dim down for no apparent reason?
If the cooling is not sufficient, for instance if used while standing still, indoors or in high temperatures, then the light will automatically be reduced until acceptable surface temperature on the lamp body is reached. This means that the lower the ambient temperature, the stronger the light output.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
During operation of the headlamp there will be a low battery warning when 10% of the battery energy remains. This is done by flashing both LEDs for 1 second.
RESERVE MODE
During operation, the lamp will go into reserve mode when there is 10% power left of the battery. All LEDs will flash before the lamp goes into this mode. Reserve mode can be overridden by pressing the button. Warning: If you have pressed the button when headlamp is in reserve mode no more low battery warnings will appear before the headlamp turns OFF.
BATTERY STATUS INDICATION
When battery is connected and the headlamp is switched on – the current battery status will automatically be visible for 30 seconds. To check battery status during use, the headlamp has to be switched OFF and then back ON again.
- 5 green LEDs = Fully charged
- 4 green LEDs = 80% of the battery remains
- 3 green LEDs = 60% of the battery remains
- 2 green LEDs = 40% of the battery remains
- 1 red LED = 20% of the battery remains
To get as much power as possible out from your battery, keep it away from low temperatures during use.
AFTER USE

ABOUT LI-ION BATTERIES
The battery should be stored in a dry environment within the temperature range of -20°C and +35°C. If you would like to store your battery for a longer period (more than 30 days) the battery should not be fully charged. This may cause loss of its characteristics. Li-ion batteries have a discharge rate of approx. 20% over a 30-day period. You can always charge a half full battery without damaging its characteristics.
- Do not expose the battery for extreme temperatures which may cause fire or explosion.
- Do not disassemble or mistreat the battery; risk for chemical burn.
- Keep away from children.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire. This may cause an explosion.
