I lost my Bontrager Flare R (the original version, not the crappy new RT version) on a ride today.
Can anyone recommend a similar spec rear light, please?
I used it on the Flashing Night Mode, which was 65 lumens for 23 hours. I'm wanting a long lasting light, with a fairly high lumen output. So I don't have to charge it after every ride.
I also need to mount it on one of the seat stays, using a custom bracket (to make things more tricky for the recommendation). Using the threaded adapter which comes with the light.
I don't have space on my seat post, for rubber band style mount.
They seem a rip off at Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bontrager-Flare-USB-Tail-Light/dp/B0162T4D4G
Thank you very much.

I just get a "This item is no longer available to buy" message on the website
I have seen it for sale on eBay from a US seller. I might have to buy it from them.
The only light close to the specs I'm after is this:
https://www.cateye.com/intl/products/safety_lights/TL-NW100K/
"Daytime HyperFlash（50 lumens）：30 hrs"
But I'd struggle to mount it on the seat stay, unless I made a custom mount.
I ordered one of these instead https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Moon/Cerberus-Rear-Light/NTLS around £24.5 from Amazon.
Day Flash 150 lumens - 19 hours runtime.
