Knog Blinder R, 70 lumens, looks streamlined, good features. Knog - Blinder Road R Bike Light

Lezyne Micro Drive Rear, adjustable, looks...weird Lezyne - Engineered Design - Products - LED Lights - Micro Drive (Rear)

Also found the Dinotte Quad Red @ 200 lumens (necessary?) but at $243 she's a bit steep.

Cheers

I've been complimented by other riders& drivers; and asked by random riders what model it is: Knog Blinder. I use it day and night on my road bikes.

I also you a Planet Bike Superflash Turbo (commuter bikes).
