Can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. I've had multiple instances of my rear light, either attached to occy straps or to the top handle of my backpack fall off while riding to somewhere.
As my commuting bike has a rear rack, I prefer to use my backpack tied down to it (vs using a pannier bag). My backpack it so tall when placed flat on the rear rack, it would cover the entire seat post (so no possible to attach it there when loaded up).
Lost another rear light last night. While watching some YouTube clips of reviews, for decently brighter rear lights. One reviewer used zip ties to attach it to the rear of his helmet as a demonstration.
I feel so stupid, not considering this basic hack sooner. Being using the supplied rubber stem post hanger. Obviously not secure enough.
So for those which have slightly more niche needs for like myself. Consider using zip ties.

I use rubber bands so I can remove it to charge. How do you charge it if it’s permanently fixed? Or do you just set your bag by the charger?
Another option would be to zip-tie to a little clip (like a laundry pin), the clip attaches/detaches from your bag, the cable ties keep it fixed to the clip.
