My PB SuperFlashes and SuperFlash Turbos came with mounts for seat stays which can easily be made to work on rack legs with a bit of additional rubber. The bracket is made to adjust vertically and horizontal adjustment is done by rotating on the rack leg so they can be aimed where you want them.

My rack mounted light offers 220 degrees of visibility. Should I use my old Nashbar Townies, by the time I move them back far enough to avoid heel strike, then they act as blinders for the light.
I just want an alternative location that is stable, secure, and can somewhat aim the light properly.
If you are looking for a way to mount lights when the seat post, seat stays, back of the rack and rack legs are all blocked, I think you will be limited to mounting them to the bags or your body.
