Recommend me a new rear light

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
Just got home from work and my rear light isn't working. Having purchased it at Tredz, I didnt think it would do the Halfords on me.
Anyway Im looking for a quality rear light that must be water proof. I dont have a budget in mind but I dont want something that costs hundreds, or need something the space station staff can see.
Not sure if this is the right forum, seemed apt as I need a new asap for commuting.
 
If I needed a rear light I'd like this from Wilko:

Exposure Flare and Blaze are both great lights... the only slight downside if the mounting (silicone band and clip could be better and tend to wobble a touch, even realign)

Moon make come decent lights. I have a set of Comets and they're both bright and have a long charge (the above beat them for charge length).

The Smart and Phart halfwatts are the option for those on a budget. Great lights, not expensive, good side vis and distance vis. Battery life is also very good so you'll get your money worth

I keep looking at the Moon Shield, 60 lumen of brightness, short-ish runtime seems to be the major downside though it is usb chargeable.
Currently running a few of the Smart Lunar R1's or Superflash/half watt on various bikes, very good for the money.

I've got the Moon Shield on one of the bikes, fantastic brightness. On flashing mode it has a reasonably good life, certainly a good few hours. The fastening / bracket isn't the best, although I guess it depends on your route. When I take my longer routes which tend to incorporate cattle grids every once in a while it bounces off. To be fair it's happened twice in 8 months of cycling around the New Forest, but may happen. On the other bike I have Moon Comet 30, not as bright but good brightness and modes.

Alternatively I have a backup light which is the Cateye Rapid 3. Decent battery life, good modes, especially the random mode. I tend to use it in conjunction with the other lights and not too sure how visible it is.
