Tireflys are a whole
generation beyond the traditional reflectors for your bike seat, wheels,
handlebar or anything else!
Motion activated valve stem lights screw onto your valve stems and
rapidly flash in ultra bright red and blue flashing. Fits
standard Schrader (automotive style) valves - Slimline presta valves are not
suitable unless an adapter is used (not supplied)
, Order 1 set for bike or motorcycles, 2 sets for cars,
trucks etc.
These are labelled as bicycle Tireflys, and they contain an LED (a red/blue multicoloured LED in this case; emitting bright flashing light), packed by a transparency plastic bubble that glows brightly. They are designed to be screwed onto the valve stems of your bicycle tires ("tyres"). When you start pedalling your bicycle, the motion-sensitive switch inside the Tireflys will engage, turning the units on. The units will turn themselves off automatically after 10 seconds if no motion is detected. They also fits motor cars wheels!
How to use it
To use the Tireflys, remove them
from the package with a sharp knife or a pair of household scissors. They have a
set of batteries already installed, so you'll be ready to use them right off the
bat.
On your bicycle tires, unscrew and remove the valve stem cover if they are
present.
Screw the Tireflys onto the valve stem in their place, and that's it.
Yes, it really is as easy as that.
Replacing the batteries
To change the batteries when
necessary, unscrew and remove the Tirefly from your tire's valve stem. Grasp the
Tirefly in your hands, with one hand holding the top portion of the Tirefly and
the other hand holding the lower portion of the Tirefly.
Twist counterclockwise (as if unscrewing); some vigor may be necessary, until
the halves seperate. Be sure the light-emitting side faces the floor so those
batteries don't just clatter all over the driveway or garage floor when the two
halves come apart.
Tip the three used CR1330 (AG-10) cells out of the Tirefly's body and into your
hand, and dispose of or recycle them as you see fit.
Insert three new CR1330 (AG-10) cells into the Tirefly's body, button-end (-)
negative first. Place one cell at a time inside the body. When all three cells
are in, screw the bottom half of the Tirefly firmly back on.
Gently whack the unit on the palm of your hand, light-end first (this assures
the motion switch inside gets reset properly), then screw the Tirefly back onto
your bicycle's tire valve stem.
