In the 14th August promotion I picked up a £2.99 rear light with "sidelight". The German suggests that this should be "standlight". Having finaly worked out how to secure the wires from my dynamo (press on the plastic projections that move and squeeze the wires) it does seem to work and saves worrying about batteries in town. Outstanding VFM I am surprised that no one else has commented.

I would agree entirely. I bought two - one for a 'project' which has worked remarkably well - that was to remove the innards of the Lidl light and insert it into an old-style 'bullet' rear dynamo light ( Miller / Sturmey Archer style, if you are old enough to remember such things!). The single Lidl rear light fits very nicely into the Miller body, and is now happily powered by the original Sturmey Archer Dynohub on my 1946 Hetchins. Modern rear light performance without compromising the retro looks! All I need now is to get over my renal problems and be able to test the thing out for real!
