Lost my fantom xr9 - replace with...?

It fell off at the weekend and is lost forever.

It is an excellent superbright rear light. Planning to replace it with anther xr9, unless someone can recommend something better at £25 to £30.

Thanks.

I don't know the answer but I'd welcome a viable  alternative. 

Great light but the mounting system is unforgiveably crap, I've had to do a bodge with a short length of handlebar and some cable ties.

I have a short length of plastic conduit screwed to the back of my rack for the same reason :-)

And the light *did* fall of on Sunday (but may or may not have been clicked in correctly)

Someone posted that they'd spoken to Exposure and a cheap red joystick was coming soon. I am holding off for that. A superflash to tide you over?

Google shopping threw up this for £10 shipped

See the 'new rear light' thread about the Raleigh light. They are excellent
