We update our earlier calculations of gamma ray and radio observational constraints on annihilations of dark matter particles lighter than 10 GeV. We predict the synchrotron spectrum as well as the morphology of the radio emission associated with light decaying and annihilating dark matter candidates in both the Coma cluster and the Galactic Centre. Our new results basically confirm our previous findings: synchrotron emission in the very inner part of the Milky Way constrains or even excludes dark matter candidates if the magnetic field is larger than 50 micro Gauss. In fact, our results suggest that light annihilating candidates must have a S-wave suppressed pair annihilation cross section into electrons (or the branching ratio into electron positron must be small). If dark matter is decaying, it must have a life time that is larger than t = 3. 10^{25} s. Therefore, radio emission should always be considered when one proposes a light dark matter candidate.
