How to fit rear lights to the pannier rack?

[Matthew_T]

Something which I am worried about.

I currently use a cateye and a cheap LED light on the rear (LED is very bright though). I was wondering how to attach these to my pannier rack as my pannier will be blocking the current positions of them (on the seat tube).

Fossy posted a picture of his setup on a thread in Commuting but I am still struck as to how to attach them.
Should I just pad the clamps with more rubber slits? Or is there a better way of doing things?

I used one of THESE when I had panniers

I made this from a strip of aluminum and some wire rope clamps:

The rear light is well out of the way of the pannnier when fitted and allows instant access for installing and removal as well switching it on and off. The light is also out of the spray line from rain water being lifted by the tyre

Given the light used, what about this.

The two other replies are quicker typists than me.

Here's my 2p - http://www.beewee.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=146&Itemid=109 (I've made about a dozen of these so far)

BTW - I've also been making Brooks look-alike leather mudflaps at about 60p each!

Knew what I was looking for, I've used them. But putting it through on google brought evans at the top. No other reason than to show what you'd be looking for.

It will fit my light and possibly the LED one (slots are exactly the same size). Thanks.
