Roll Bar mount for Rain light

As a high level brake light I have just purchased a round LED rain light. (Twas only a tenner!)
I'd like to run it off the roll bar if poss rather than the rear panel.
Does anyone do a mount for the roll bar with a nice CNC clamp that i could use to mount a plate to and then mount the light to that?

Would weld a plate on for neatness but i dont have a welder and havent welded for a long time.

here's the light i have LED Rain Light

Its on an angle so cant be jubilee clipped into place.

you could just carve a wooden block, paint it silver and glue it and the lamp to the bar. Very locost but would look just fine.

I have the same challenge. Been thinking about using the clamps that are often used to fit headlights or clip-on bars to motorcycle fork down-tubes, but haven't compared roll bar diameter to down-tube diameter yet to see if it is feasible.

I want it just like the above but not welded as i cant...

Im getting close to checking drainpipe clip dimensions and using those mounted to either some plate or relatively thick plastic.

The dilema continues....
