I attach my PB Superflash (and/or PDW Dangerzone [they use the same mount design, and are interchangeable]) tail light's mount to a spare strut from another rack and mount the assembly to the underside of the deck with two bolts.
Rack in photo is a
TransIt Pannier Seatpost Rack. I've used the same method with my newer
PB Eco Racks.
Back in #18 I posted a link to the rack
