I bought a Cat Eye rear light, the Rapid Mini (TL-LD635), in
a collaboration model wrapped in a leather case.
It's a collaboration between Maware, a leather brand for cyclists in Yokohama, and Cat Eye.
I already own a Rapid Mini,
so I would've been fine with just the leather case,
but since they only sell it as a set, Ireluctantly bought the set.

It says to attach it to your belt or bag after getting off the bike.
It depends on your creativity, but

The Arundel saddle bag has leather sewn onto it to protect against interference with the seatpost collar bracket,
and the character of that leather matches the leather case nicely.
I've installed it.
I've confirmed it doesn't hit anything other than the saddle bag even when moving around to the max.
I could've made the hanging length shorter by drilling a separate hole in the belt,
but if I shorten it too much, the operation switch becomes hard to press.
While riding, there's no issue with it swinging around.
↑This is how it looks at night when turned on
The camera makes it look whitish, but to the eye it's red.
I'm using the Colima saddle I mentioned before, and the rails are close to the base.
This is a customer's bike for a different matter,
and the saddle is a Selle Italia Maxflight Gel Flow.
There's plenty of space between the rails and base—you can easily fit your finger through.
Normally I wouldn't mention anything about installation,
but this is actually a Time frame, so the seatube needs to be cut.
If you cut it to match the height of the bike they were using before,
when changing to almost any other saddle, you'll need to push the seatpost out further,
and I made sure to explain that.
