I have a Catey LD1000 mounted to the loop on my Transit trunk. The first time I hit a bump, the light flew off. I then wrapped an elastic rubber band around the bottom part of the clip, which sticks out beneath the loop. I have never had a problem again. A simple, free solution to my problem.
My wife then went further and sewed the loop to the trunk in the middle of the loop , to give some more sturdiness to the loop (the loop is a little floppy), and to keep the light in place from a left/right perspective. I then stuffed the little bag that the loop is sewn onto with plastic bags. I now have a LD1000 that is securely mounted and points toward the rear (not up or down). All for no money and 10 minutes of effort.
If I ever get around to it, I may post a picture
