This tail light is well-constructed and designed. It features 4 different modes and has a powerful light and long-lasting battery. It is over-priced.

Cannot fully endorse. Works great. Definitely visible, several flash options, etc. Problem is poor battery life, particularly in "brighter modes". Not the biggest deal in the world to have to charge, essentially, after every ride (my average ride is 3-4 hours), but would be nice to be able to get two or more rides per charge. Otherwise, have had no problems, and do like the product.

The NiteRidere Solas 250 is very bright, day or night, and its ability to adjust brightness allows for riding with groups, to avoid blinding the rider(s) behind you. It's true that the rubbery piece that acts as a shield to dust and water needs to be improved as the fit doesn't feel right, requiring a couple of visible checks to be sure that it was placed correctly. Also, the clip on its back along with the rubber pressure mount allows for flexible fitting, though when clipped to a bag it tends to aim in a downward direction which is sub-optimal. It's wide angle visibility, where the light fall off can be critical, is very adequate especially when compared to other units presently on the market, though it can be improved. Still the light fall off from sub-optimal placement is acceptable to me. I can't speak for its longevity as I've only used it for about 6 hours, so far (times two as I have more than one and had them on my wife's bicycle too during these rides). As to its ability to hold a charge, I bought 4, keeping one for each bicycle (for the wife) as an extra unit just in case so that shouldn't be an issue with me. Still, the rides were about 3 hours each and it kept the charge, as the maximum output, for the entire time. I charged the units on a fast charger until the red light turned blue. I'm actually not a fan of the rechargeable lights. I would rather use high quality, double A rechargeable batteries, keeping an extra set or two, and changing the battery when needed since this method is still better for the environment, fast (no wait for a charger) and, in an emergency, double A batteries are everywhere.

Bought this to replace a Solas 100 I lost. That 1 was a few years old and was requiring more frequent charging, so I guess it worked out. Both products are good quality, and I like the rechargeable feature. The 1st withstood years of commuting and held up well even when it got wet. I would recommend this.

Pro: Multiple attention getting settings for light, good battery life, good universal mount Con: switch can be difficult to operate especially while riding, have had some issues with not holding up well when used in the rain, have owned several Niterider lights including another Solas 250 that have eventually failed. That said I would probably purchase another as it seems a good light for the cost and just consider it a consumable item like tires and chains.
