Two minor issues with big front baskets in general: If you get the front loaded too much and lift the handlebars to get the bike over a curb, it'll be the rear wheel that lifts, not the front. And if you have lights on your handlebars and stack stuff in the basket, it'll block your lights.
Which is one of the reasons why I haven't gotten around to buying a basket yet. However, I have been kicking around some solutions and I think that I might be able to just lay my light in the bottom of the basket with the lens poking out the front. I use a 1x18650 powered flashlight and the biggest issue in my head now is how to prevent the light from sliding forward (I'll be using velcro tie wraps, but still...)
