It looks like the same light I have. Later ones (mine 
) don't come with the extra bracket so it is rubber band attachment only. Watching this thread with interest....

I had a "similar" issue with a light a year or so ago. Great light bought off Amazon but the bike got nicked along with the bracket which was on the bike (it was winter so left it on). Struggled to get a response from the makers, eventually they offered to sell me a new bracket for £25 plus postage, only paid £40 for the full thing in the first place. I managed to cobble something together from an old light, not perfect but does the job. They should have more spares available for stuff like this, but they obviously want you to keep buying new all the time. Good luck with you search.

This looks like the same one if you're struggling, looks good, might get one myself.

It literally came with the rubber mount which snapped took it back to halfauds and the lad said I'll have to buy a new one for £30

I thought they did the extra mount as an extra? Will have a look at mine when I am home, still have the packaging.

There was a Garmin out front style mount which had a fitting for the light underneath supplied with some of the models and which is available separately - https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-accessories/bike-lights/halfords-front-out-mount-253270.html
This positioned the light upside down making it difficult to access the brightness control so I removed and threw away the light bracket and just used it for my Garmin. You could always use the Halfords mount with the remote control unit for the light (https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-parts/handlebars/bikehut-remote-control-684267.html) so the button access isn't problem.
