What bag and light? Some light have clips that can
attach to a saddle bag, or you can put it on your helmet.

Like others have asked, does it have a place to hang a light? I have the Topeak Medium Aero Wedge and there is a strip on it to hang a light. That is where I hang my Radbot 1000. You can see where where I attach mine in the picture below.

I mounted my rear light on the lefthand seat stay. That way as long as I don't ride in the UK, Down Under or any of those other places with backward roads 
I'll always have a light on the traffic side of my bike. Just for a Zen-like symmetry, I mounted the little red reflector I had on the other seatstay. 
Actually, my seat wedge has a loop for a light, but it was impossible to get it to actually shine outward instead of down at the wheel.

Mine is on the seat stay.
BUT - if you're going to ride in a group, PLEASE do a favor to the guy who will be riding behind you: Angle it downward.
Lights mounted against the seat stay point right into the eye of the guy on your wheel, and blind him.

One thing to consider, is that your emergency toolkit doesn't have to be attached to your bike! Just stuff it in a fanny-pack, and you'll have your tools no matter which bike you choose to ride! Or even if you're out walking, and spot a cyclist in need of assistance!

My wedge bag is an expandable Avenir, mounted to the seat rails and seat post. It has a loop for a hang on light. I use a Planet Bike blinkie rear light mounted on the left seat stay to avoid a conflict with the brake structure on the right side.

You can get a nice handle bar bag at Benny's or KMart for under $10.
