About the Droid
Lights you never take off. Or forget.
The Droid bolts to your bike and stays there, so you never forget your lights again. It is a CNC aluminium light set with a wide 120 lumen “be seen” beam and 180° cutaways for side visibility.
Featuring a fully modular design with user-replaceable parts, the Droid is designed to last for years and minimise waste. Fitting takes about 90 seconds. Watch the 90-second fitting video.
Anti-theft design
Bolted on. Protecting more than the lights.
The Droid is bolted to your bike using anti-theft security bolts, so the lights stay where you left them. The front light replaces your stem faceplate, and because we provide the bolts to secure other components too, the same fitting protects your handlebars and shifters. The rear light clamps to your seatpost and guards your saddle.
Front
Integrates with the faceplate and stem, helping prevent theft of your handlebar and shifter components.
Rear
Hinged seatpost collar with a security bolt, protecting your saddle and seatpost.
The tool
A specialised key comes in the box. Lose it and replacements are available from us, or use standard Allen bolts if you prefer.
Key features
Bright, tough and built to stay put.
Waterproof aluminium
CNC-machined aluminium casing, waterproof and designed to remain on your bike in all conditions. Front light 72 g, rear 66 g.
Weeks between charges
Up to 40 hours on a charge with USB-C and a 3 m cable in the box. One security bolt releases the light to charge indoors.
Settings
Eight modes for day and night.
The Droid has eight settings: high, medium and low in both constant and flash. Two further daylight settings are snake mode and random flash, which run one LED at a time on full power. The light angle adjusts through 30° so you can aim it just right.
Charging takes around two hours from flat over USB-C. The red LED shows while charging and turns green when full. A red low-battery light comes on at 20%.

Fitting instructions
Fitted in 90 seconds.
Check out our 90-second how-to-fit video here.
Front light fitting
- Remove your current faceplate with a standard Allen key
- Hold your Droid light in place and gently thread all four bolts into place
- Carefully tighten the four bolts, evenly across all of them
- Tighten just enough to stop your handlebars rotating and no further. Overtightening could cause fatigue followed by failure
- Do not overtighten, and if damaged do not use. Contact us for replacement parts
Rear light fitting
- Choose the appropriate size hinged collar
- If necessary, make a shim out of old inner tube for the correct size and fit
- Tighten the bolt until the light will not rotate on the seatpost
- Do not overtighten. This could strip the aluminium thread
FAQs
Questions, answered.
How are they anti-theft lights?
The Droid is bolted to your bike using anti-theft bolts, and because we provide the necessary bolts to secure other components, you can also protect your handlebars and shifters, and saddle.
Is the Droid waterproof?
Yes, the Droid is waterproof, and designed to remain on your bike in all conditions.
What battery life does the Droid have?
On standard flash mode the Droid lasts for 36 hours. Depending on the mode, runtime is between 6 and 40 hours. See the runtime table above.
Can I use my standard Allen key bolts?
Yes, you can.
How many lumens?
120 at full power, but it’s the spread of these that makes the Droid so visible without being blinding.
Can I see the road with it?
No, the Droid is designed as a “be seen” light for urban settings. It will get you home rolling slowly in a pinch, but this is not what we designed it for.
What settings does the Droid have?
The Droid has eight settings: high, medium and low in both constant and flash. Two further daylight settings are snake mode and random flash (one LED at a time on full power).
Is it possible to adjust the angle of the light?
Yes. The Droid has a 30-degree angle of adjustment.
How does it charge?
We provide a 3 m long USB-C charging cable. Store your bike somewhere without power? A USB power bank will keep you topped up, or undo just one anti-tamper bolt to take your light inside.
What if I lose the specialised tool for removing the anti-theft bolts?
Not to worry, you’ll be able to order replacements both from us and from other online shops.
Can I use this on any bike?
Yes, but we do not recommend it for use off-road, as mountain bike parts are subject to much higher forces than other parts.
I want a front light but don’t want to fit it on the faceplate. Is this possible?
Yes. When you order, please leave a note confirming, and we will provide a locking collar instead of the faceplate mount.
Spares and support
Built to last, built to repair.
The Droid’s modular design means every part can be replaced rather than the whole light thrown away. Spare parts are available here, and if anything is damaged or you have a question, email [email protected].

Never received the order
Hi Mary, your light has been redespatched. I will email you with tracking details this week. Cheers, Andrew
Years of lights that I had to remove anytime I stopped: the antitheft lights are great quality lights
I never got my product and you never responded to my email. Not even sure if this is even a legit company at this point.
Hi there, I’m sorry to hear this! We’ve had email issues recently, but will try and get in touch now to sort this out. Andrew
The bracket broke after fixing. Not had any response after sending email.
Hello, sorry to hear this, I’ve not seen your email. Can you try again on [email protected] and we can get you sorted?
