    Several factors make this solvable:
    You have a quick release basket, you have a wireless light,
    and your basket is wire mesh.

    So perhaps you could get some small zip-ties from the hardware store and strap your 'flashlight' light to the SIDE of your front basket, right along the top rim, facing forward, flush with the front corner? Since there are no wires on your light, you could simply leave it permanently strapped on the basket when you take your basket into the store with you.

    Thumbs up

    Well, it sure took me long enough to get around to doing this, but I finally took BleeckerSt_Girl's advice. I got some very thin zip-ties and attached the mount to the side of the basket. I can still unhook the flashlight to use as a regular flashlight if I need to, which is cool. I went for my first evening ride since I set this up last night, and I think it worked really well. Thanks for the suggestion!
    I'm new. Be gentle!

    I'll be doing the Bike MS 150 in August

    I use rubber bands with my flashlight so I can put and take with my different bikes. It's a bright little thing and I may graduate to those cute little velcro jobs from twofish eventually.
