The Hornit LITE is a bicycle accessory designed to enhance rider safety through a combination of a powerful horn and an integrated light. This device is built to be robust and reliable, suitable for various cycling conditions, including extreme wet weather, thanks to its Ingress Protection (IP) rating of IP44. This rating indicates that it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against splashing water from any direction. However, it is explicitly stated that the device should not be submerged.

Function Description:

The primary functions of the Hornit LITE are to provide an audible warning (horn) and illumination (light) for cyclists. The horn is specifically designed for emergency use to prevent accidents and to ensure the rider is heard by drivers of other vehicles. The light function offers various modes, allowing the user to select the most appropriate illumination for their riding conditions.

Important Technical Specifications:

Usage Features:

The Hornit LITE is designed for easy installation and intuitive operation.

1. Handlebar Mount Attachment: The device includes a handlebar mount that is secured to the handlebars using a rubber strap. It's crucial to ensure this is fastened securely.
2. Trigger Attachment: A separate trigger mechanism is attached to the handlebars. This trigger should be positioned so it can be pressed comfortably while simultaneously operating the brake, allowing for quick and efficient activation in emergency situations. The manual provides diagrams for suggested setups.
3. Wire Management: Any excess connecting wire should be wound around the handlebars. For road bikes, it is recommended to run the connecting wire under the handlebar tape for a cleaner and more secure setup.
4. Hornit LITE Attachment: The main Hornit LITE unit slides into the mount. To remove it, the user pinches a release catch and slides the unit out.
