One downside to mounting like that is that you're mounting the light 90* from how it was designed to hang. A light like that is designed to spread the beam from left to right so that it's visible by more road users. When you hang it vertically like that, it's mostly visible only to people it's aimed right at, though I suppose it doesn't matter if they're worms or 18 feet high, the spread will hit them in the eye.
