This light fits Brompton folding bikes fitted with a rack as well as those without - it simply replaces the rear reflector (and has a reflector built into the light) Suitable for all non-electric model Brompton folding bikes including the A Line, C Line and P Line |
Introduced by Brompton in December 2018 - the Brompton Spanninga Solo battery operated rear light
The Brompton battery powered rear light is made for Brompton by Dutch company Spanninga
It is a very slimline single LED rear lamp with integral reflector
The light stays fixed to the bike. The lamp simply replaces the reflector - held in place with 2 bolts (50mm spacing)
Two modes:
The light has a built in reflector which means it complies to BS (British Standard) 6102 and 6103
The on / off button is on the bottom of the light
Why is there no flashing mode?
There is no flash mode on this light - we think it's because it is made by Spanninga in Holland - and in Holland (and Germany) flashing lights are not legal on bicycles
Additionally - for a bicycle light to meet British Standards (as this one does) then it must be steady with no flashing function available (look at any CatEye light package - it says if used in UK it must be used in conjunction with a British Standard lamp)
If you have a rack fitted then the brackets holding the reflector will hold the light - unless its a really old tubular rack which will require rack mounting brackets and for you to drill a hole in the rack
If you don't have a rack - then you can use the "Y" shaped bracket (mounted on the rear brake caliper) which holds on the rear reflector
Note: The light actually fits 50mm and 80mm mounts
Brompton use 50mm but the ones we have received so far are set as 80mm - so you may need to change them - this is done by
The light comes with two washers and two nyloc washers so it will stay secure on the bike
Batteries (2 x AAA) are included
Batteries are changed by unclipping the lens from the main unit - no tools required
Looking for a similar light but rechargeable?
The 2C permanent (slightly more expensive) from Busch and Muller is a reflector / rear light compatible with the Brompton fittings - but rechargeable using a USB cable - see the related items / accessories at the bottom of the page
The Brompton rear light can mount to the R-type (with mudguards and rack), L-type (with mudguards) or E-type (no mudguards or rack) - i.e. it is compatible with all Brompton models - it just replaces the rear reflector and adds a lamp functionality

We made this short video about the difference between the old and the new Brompton light and how to install it
Very poor
This light has one single LED so its not very bright. The unit failed within a year and was replaced. (Thanks Brilliant Bikes). The replacement worked fine for 6 months but then the LED seems to have dimmed and produces so little light even with new batteries that I feel unsafe using on its own.
