I have an LHT with Surly Nice Racks on the front and rear. I am considering mounting two Mag Lights on the underside of the front rack, so they will not interfere with front panniers, nor with anything place on top of the front rack. Headlights on the handlebars don't work well, because I often use a handlebar bag as well.

My thought is to stuff the Mag Lights into cut pieces of intertubing to avoid any metal-to-metal contact and also for rattle control. Maybe attach them with black zip ties?

Has anyone done anything like this, or have any better ideas for mounting light (any type) to the underside of a Nice Rack?

Thanks!
