Fibre Flare alternative

I have a rear Fibre Flare light which unfortunately the rubber mounting has finally perished and from what I can see Fibre Flare seem to have gone bust (or at least very quiet) so I can't get another. I've had a look for similar products but I'm not having much luck, I was a fan of this light since it could be attached without a specific mount, it ran on AAA batteries and it was highly visible.

Any suitable alternatives people can recommend?

Thanks,
John

    Do you mean for the helmet? If so, I use one of these, had it for years with no issues.

    Sorry I should have been clearer, it's one that attaches to the seat stay:

    I'm looking for something AAA powered as it's easy to have a pair of AAA's ready to go.

    I've got my FibreFlare mounted in the same position as the image here. In the past I had small LEDs attached but thought that as my head dips etc the LEDs would be lost whereas the FibreFlare due to it's shape and light being emitted all round would be a better alternative. I'm still on the older AAA light, I did try the USB version but had issues with it not turning off.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
