Thank you for choosing SILVA Exceed headlamp. This headlamp can,
thanks to the modular design, also be used on a helmet or a bike
handle bar.
The Exceed headlamp is equipped with Intelligent Light® which is a
light distribution technology that combines a wide angle flood light
with a long reach spot light. This unique light image gives the user
peripheral and long distance vision at the same time. For a runner,
cross country skier, mountain biker or night orienteer this translates
into less head movement, increased control, better balance and
more speed.
SILVA ACTIVITY LIGHT
Exceed features an activity based light beam. With this feature you
can optimize the light beam according to the specific sport that you
are performing. With just a few clicks of a button you can control the
3 preset light modes, which adapt the light’s characteristics to bi-
king, skiing or running. Within these modes, you can also set varying
strength of the light output. Combined with the SILVA multi attach-
ment options, this feature gives you a more intense experience and
developed skills, whether you are Biking, XC-skiing or Trail Running.

LEDs for 1 second and repeated again after 5 seconds.

15% power left of the battery. Reserve mode means less light than in

point only reserve mode and flash mode is available to prevent the
user from being left with no light in the dark.
