Believe it or not, sometimes that small difference matters. I too have my rear light clipped to my seat bag but I'm lucky in that it it is rigid and sits perfectly horizontal. Others are not taut and can sag and droop.

get a real light instead. i recommend the older orfos red and the niteflux redzone. these spread light out in all directions around the bike. they both have many many leds and they tap directly into clear plastic to spread the light.
on max you can see these from several miles.
You need both actually.
