Look 586 Rear Light Suggestions

I would like another rear light to fit to my Look 586, I've currently got one mounted onto my Fizik seat pack but would like another, frame is carbon and oval with integrated seat post so many of the lights come with a bracket thats only designed to fit a conventional round tube frame / seat post which is no good.
I would like something that gives same sort of light output as the Mars Blackburn 3 thats currently on there.
I've been looking at the Exposure Flare but not sure if it will fit.

I was having all sorts of fun and games trying to fit a rear light to my cervelo S1's aero post with the sharp training edge. Im the end I cam back to a Mars 4, but I filed a slight notch into the inside of the bracket to locate on the post. This stops it rotating, works a treat. The jubilee clip type clamp seems to suit non round posts best Ive concluded after trying many.0

fibre flares will probably do the trick

+1 for a fibre flare on the seatstay - they're very noticeable but not dazzling. Batteries seem to last a while in them to0

Yes, saddle pack already has a Mars Blackburn 3 on it, no room for another light on the pack.
Thanks for the suggestions so far, much appreciated.0 -
