I wasn't sure how I was going to mount the light on my cargo bike. Under the basket was too low, and above the basket might get blocked by tall cargo. Then I ran across this sandwich light mount for baskets on SOMA. Works perfectly - very pleased.

I was just about to sandwich some 3" angle brackets to the bottom of a front basket and use them as a light mount under the basket. I still might, but that little mount is a pretty slick solution.

The mounting hardware on Wald baskets that are equipped for mounting without a rack can be repurposed to hold an accessory bar, if the basket is turned around and mounted on a rack. A cylindrical object like a stick or narrow handlebars could become a mounting point for a rechargeable light, and the position on the front edge of the basket prevents the load from blocking the beam. I found this section of PVC on the shoulder of the road, and I also load my tenkara fishing rod inside the tube.
