Huh, I guess some of us just weren't cut from "engineer" cloth.
Nice suggestion, and I'll make the switch for sake of best practice. But vibration isn't a problem as currently mounted.

If vibration of the mounted light is a problem for you or others, rotating the mount 180 degrees to the other side also changes the natural vibration frequency of the mounted light. Then the natural frequency of the mounted light may no longer match some frequency your seat post vibrates at.
Nice mount, by the way.
