The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
On my bikes the slightest knock would push the light into the spokes. If you've got enough clearance suppose it would be OK.

From experience - if a light comes loose it will bounce off the spokes anyway. Usually disintegrating. Doesnt matter where on the stay its positioned really.

Fair enough never gave it much thought. There is a fair bit of clearance tbh with it being a mtb however those planet x brackets are garbage

Glue some old inner tube on the face of the bracket where the clip on the light touches? Might stop slippage a little ....EDIT: also some threadlock plastic on the bolts might help a touch

Dave, which type of rear light do you use? I want to fasten one to my rear carrier too.

Anyone seen those hood things that fit over the rear light and diffuse the beam? I think I've seen one with a sort of opaque crud catcher.

I use one of these on my shopper http://www.clasohlson.com/uk/Asaklitt-LED-Rear-Bike-Light/31-1927
The commuter has a bodged up Smart Lunar R1 attached to the rack.
As has been said you can bodge almost anything to fit if you have the space.
