The Solas is a modest sized light in the Smart 1/2w mould - you've probably seen a million of them by now. Translucent red casing for 180 degree visibility, vertical clip (nicely curved in on itself with a retaining noggin for added security) and a clear plastic circle over the LED. Unlike some others, the Solas just has the one LED which pumps out a healthy 2W of power.

The problem is - the dogs here vote. (Or rather dog-owners - in fact in this land it's mostly dogs and dog-fanciers). The mad dogs (or those with...

There's nothing truly innovative about the Niterider Solas rear light - it has plenty in common with other modern tail-lights, but it does its job well and is carefully thought out.

The li-ion battery charges via a micro USB cable which plugs in underneath a honking great rubber plug at the base of the unit. Niterider only claim that the light is 'water resistant' but it passed the backyard hose test and I've not had any problems since.

The bolt does look long but I have the bracket on my bike (that's not it in the picture btw) with a rubber shim and there's about 2/3cm of spare thread showing. Hardly enough to get excited about.

'I really liked it, but I'd want a hefty discount before I actually bought one.' - Is it within the remit of reviewing a product to make such a rash declaration? Surely just lop off half a star because of price & value? How are independent bike dealers ever going to thrive when someone reviewing a product is promoting a 'discount it or else' mentality? Stupid.

·Viton & Fluoro-Rubber Grommet not only have good weather resistance, oil resistance, but also have high weather resistance, up to 200oC

NiteRiderlights review

There's no getting away from the fact that this is a pretty pricey rear light although it's much cheaper than the willy-waving likes of the L&M 180.

Automotive Rubber Grommet also known as car rubber grommet, car cable grommets, rubber connector grommet or rubber blanking grommet, which is placed around drilled or punched holes to an opening in a surface to provide a cushion area for the wire and protect the wires from sharp edges.

I regularly do the following types of riding: time trialling, commuting, general fitness riding, fixed/singlespeed, Audax and long distance solo rides

Automotive Grommets mainly used Nitrile NBR as material, because that is used in car and automotive parts need good oil resistance. Automotive rubber wire grommet works as a connector also need very good tear resistance and high tensile strength. In addition, many grommets also work as plug, seal, and cover for dust free and waterproof.

i bought this light for £30 which is much more reasonable. The lights is bright and has a good selection of flashing mode. The bad points are 1.) The rubber USB port bung lets water in and so needs tape putting over it or vaseline to repel the water. 2.) The battery is a pathetic 700mahrs and gives a run time of 4.5 hours on full. This is pathetic. My blacknurn mars 4.0 gives about 40 hours on full using 2 AAA batteries. Why is it that all powerfull rears lights have pathetic batteries. Why not use standard AA batteries or at least put a battery in thats man enough for the power of the light. If this light used 3 AA 2500mahr rechargables batteries it would have an amazing run time even on full it would last about 16 hrs. This would be much better. The bracket also appears to be a custom bracket and unique to niterider. If it breaks what then, ya nackered.

The mounting bracket is very basic, just the usual plastic clamp and clip arrangement, no fancy silicone straps here. I've had it clipped to the light loop on my Carradice and the long clip with a retaining noggin is very secure. I'd have no concerns about it jumping off mid-ride.

The two flashing modes are pretty eye-watering, although not as manic as some, so they should cut through the urban jungle very nicely. Where the Solas really scores though is by having a low power steady mode for group riding. While that won't make you visible from several miles away, it's enough to keep you safe on country roads and if you're on a long night ride, say the Exmouth Exodus or a long audax, it's not going to make your fellow riders feel like they're riding behind a mobile disco. That might seem like a minor thing, but to some people these things do matter and I can't think of another high power light that offers this.

At an RPP 1p short of £40 it's not cheap so it's a question of how much you value the versatility it offers. I really liked it, but I'd want a hefty discount before I actually bought one.

At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.

Nice modes - especially the 36hr group ride mode. That's going to be enough to get you round a long audax without any worries.

Why is it stupid to give readers a bit more info and context? Is it a good light:- yes. Would I spend £40 on one:- probably not. Note the 'value for money' score - if the light had been cheaper that would have been higher. If I was spending my own money I'd probably opt for either the RSP Silicone that I reviewed a few weeks ago (rrp £20, £11.95 if you look around) or the Smart R2 (rrp £25.49, currently £10 at Planet-X). Next to those the Solas looks expensive.

Run-times are pretty good, up to 36hrs on the low setting although I suspect most people will just opt for the fast flash, which goes on for 18hrs. There isn't a runtime indicator although you'd have to be pretty sloppy to run it down so far that there isn't even enough juice for a low power trip home.

Is that the bracket bolt that came with it? If so, looks way too long and a good clothing-snagger. Even On-One's £2.50 Phaart lights had better looking mounts. Run times are very good, so a reasonable alternative to the Moon Shield and similar lights.

·Nitrile Rubber grommet with good properties of oil resistance, especially alkane oil. Long-term working temperature: -20oC ~ 100oC.

"The Solas 2 Watt Tail Light is brand new for 2012/13 and features a powerful 2 watt LED, 4 modes (2 flash/2 steady) and is USB rechargeable. We've implemented what we call 'Group Ride Mode' for cyclists who need to still want to stay visible and safer but not annoy others in the pack."
