I'd prefer something thin and light, yet bright. USB chargeable. Something decent. Something that is designed with this purpose in mind, and not something I rig up. Something that mounts clean, sturdy, flush, and no sag.
So far I've only come across the
Lezyne Zecto Drive Taillight that has a clip or tube strap option. Seems good, but I was wondering what my other options might be.
Another option I considered is getting the
Bontrager Tail Light Seat Pack Clip and

It just seems my current tail light on my seat post is somewhat obscured by the tire and bag from the rear.
Cygolite HotShot and Niterider Solas fit the bill. Cygo's are better for straightline visibility, Niterider better for side visibility. The reason is obvious: the niterider red lens wraps around to a greater degree than does the Cygo lens.
Both are available rated at 150 lumens at a great price, usb charging.
These will not unclip from a seatbag unless you ride in conditions that turn your bike into a bucking bronco.
The lights will sag downward a bit on the rear of the bag. I glued a bit of foam behind the clip so that the light sits at about 90 degrees.
