The world's first DJI Avinox-specific light system delivering 3600 lumens, and a dedicated motor-powered solution for every major e-bike platform

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND – 18 March 2026 – Gloworm Lights, New Zealand's leading manufacturer of high-performance cycling lighting systems, today announced the launch of two new e-bike dedicated light systems: the Gloworm XSV-PD E-Bike Light System and the Gloworm X2e E-Bike Light System (G2.1). Both systems are engineered specifically for e-bike riders and mark a new chapter in Gloworm's 15-year journey to solve real problems riders face on the trail.

The World's First DJI Avinox-Specific Light System

The Gloworm XSV-PD is the world's first light system designed specifically for e-bikes with a USB-C PD output port, including DJI Avinox-powered bikes. Delivering an extraordinary 3600 lumens powered directly from the e-bike battery via USB-C PD technology, the XSV-PD eliminates the need for a separate battery entirely — unlimited runtime, uncompromising output, as long as your bike runs.

"E-bike riders have fundamentally different needs from riders on non-electric bikes," said Vaggelis Monogyios, Co-Founder and Chief Executive of Gloworm Lights. "The XSV-PD is built from the ground up for that rider — 3600 lumens of unlimited power drawn directly from your e-bike, with the full Gloworm ecosystem behind it. And for those who want the flexibility to ride without their e-bike,adding a Power Pack turns it into a complete standalone light system."

The XSV-PD is part of the Gloworm G2.1 modular ecosystem. While it is designed to run from your e-bike's USB-C PD port, it is not limited to e-bikes. Add a Gloworm Power Pack (G2.x), sold separately, and the XSV-PD becomes a full standalone external battery light system — the same high-performance light, now usable on any bike, anywhere. Mix, match, and reconfigure based on the ride ahead —enduro, night racing, or all-day trail riding.

Dedicated Motor Power for Every Major E-Bike Platform

The Gloworm X2e E-Bike Light System (G2.1) is built for e-bikes with 6V or 12V motor systems,delivering up to 1850 lumens powered directly by the motor. Intelligent input detection automatically adapts to your bike's voltage for optimal performance, and unlimited runtime means your light will never be the thing that stops your ride.Compatible with Bosch, Bosch Gen5/Smart System, Brose, Shimano, and TQ motor systems, the X2e ships with a Shimano motor connection cable as standard. Connection cables for all other supportedmotor systems are available separately.

"The X2e solves a problem every e-bike rider knows — your light is always the thing that runs out first," said Monogyios. "By tapping directly into the motor system, we've eliminated that problem entirely.

Intelligent voltage detection, unlimited runtime, and the full Gloworm feature set in a light built to perform in heavy rain, river crossings, and whatever the trail throws at you."

The Full Gloworm Experience on Both Systems

Both the XSV-PD and X2e include the complete Gloworm feature set: Wireless Remote Control Hands never leaving the bars, all your lights under one button. The included TX (BT) Wireless Remote Button lets you operate all your paired Gloworm Light Systems together without letting go. Pair multiple Light Systems to a single remote and manage them all simultaneously — a level of control no other cycling light brand matches.

Gloworm Link App: Create fully personalised light modes, set brightness steps, and fine-tune everydetail of your setup from the Gloworm Link App. Available on iOS and Android. Your configuration is saved and ready to ride.

Beam Pattern Control: Swap optics in seconds to change your beam spread for the terrain ahead. Spot, wide, honeycomb — same Light Head, completely different performance. Additional beam patterns are also available directly through the Gloworm Link App.

Built for Any Condition: CNC-machined 6061 aluminium and IP67 waterproof rating as standard. Built to perform in heavy rain, river crossings, and whatever the trail throws at you.

The Gloworm Light Systems Ecosystem: Mix, match, and reconfigure. Every battery, cable, andaccessory within your generation works seamlessly across those Light Systems. Every mount works cross every Gloworm generation, so when you upgrade, your mounting setup comes with you. Swap< and reconfigure based on the ride ahead — enduro, night racing, or all-day trail riding. This is what makes a Light System, not just a light.

Safety Note

Professional installation is strongly recommended for the X2e. An incorrect motor connection canermanently damage the Light System. Riders who are not confident with electrical connections shouldh ave their light installed by a qualified bike mechanic or e-bike technician. Some e-bike systems mayequire light ports to be activated by an authorised dealer before use.
