  1. 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.

    Is it bright enough on its own?

    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!

    Having just tested it at night - better than I expected and over quite a
    wide angle.
