Is it possible to mount this light on my seat stay?

As of Fall 2013, the updated version of the Hotshot will be shipping with a stay mount by default. It is also for sale via the Cygolite spare parts store: http://www.shop.cygolite.com/category.sc?categoryId=74.

My sense is this may not work because the light only adjusts on one plane of motion

Not quite sure what you mean by "seat stay". The light itself snaps into its base which is a ring that clamps around a cylindrical part of the bike frame and is held in place by a supplied screw. The light also is attached to a clip allowing it to be slipped onto a sleeve such as can be found on a backpack.

No hardware is included for seat stay mounting (the two skinny tubes that go from rear axle to the top of the seat tube) or on the braces (brake mount) spanning the seat stays. The mount included with my light is a hard plastic 1" circle screw-clamp and with a will only mount on the seat tube or similar 1"-1.25" round tube. Hope that helps!

Nope. Not with the provided mount. The factory mount is perfectly fine by the way - as long as it mounts to the seat post.

It has a clip but don't see it direct mounting to a seat stay. One could make an adapter with some ingenuity. Better off getting a small seat bag and using the clip though.

Use a shim to tilt the light enough that the light is directed to your needs. A little "out of the box" mounting could be fitted to not only serve your needs but could be made to look like it should be mounted that way.

Yes, you can. I didn't mount mine because it's so easy to set it down wherever you want light; in addition, I didn't mount my light because it will make it difficult to change the batteries when necessary.

I would not buy a mount yet. The light comes with a stretchable rubber like band that has a few length adjustments that permit it to be attached to several types of mediums as is shown in the illustrations. If you find that you cannot make it work, I think that the seller has a reasonable return policy. Plus, the light is not very expensive. I will say that I was hoping that it would be a brighter light or rather I found that if the light is not properly positioned, it will not direct the beam in the optimum direction.

To be honest i never tried putting on a different light. But i believe you could attach a shoe mount on it. Sorry if i didn't completely answer your question. i could send some pics, if that will help?

sorry, we can't tell you that, cause ours is just sitting on some boxes. we weren't able to mount it because it had to face sideways to work for our flourescent garage light.

No. There is a small hole on each side of the light. I had to buy some wire to run through the holes to hang it.

There is a plastic extension at the bottom of the lamp which screws in. It is similar to the stake on solar lights. You can wrap wire around the post and around the stake which would accomplish your mission.

Yes. It can be mounted that way, although mine is just sitting on a flatish surface. Mine has not tipped over, despite recent high winds. It has been very stable.2-11-14: ETA. Mine was sitting atop an ancient FarmAll tractor, but we towed the tractor out a few days ago to build another horse stall in its place and forgot to move the light. It stayed put for the first 50 yards, even over fairly rough ground, but eventually fell off. Just in case you are wondering, these lights will not survive being run over by tractors! I'm ordering more today.

Yes. If you goes to their Webpage for this light: http://www.morrisproducts.com/images/73030-Spec.pdf you'll see it's shown mounting from the top.

I don't have the light so I don't know. The top bar does have 2 holes on each side to mount lights.

Need to be creative to be able to do that. You may clamp the light onto fixtures on the wall. A direct wall mounting light would be a better option.

Yes it can. You will need a mount for it. It's a great light you won't be disappointed. I believe thru nite has a pressure switch for this light sold on there website

The light has a flexible mount so it would work. This is an inexpensive light but there are brighter lights.

You could place it on the side of a table - you would need about three square inche area to mount the light.

not as it is designed, but if you are on the tecinal side you could go inside of it and rewire it (not reccommended ) your best bet is to order a solar powered led work light if you want something to stay on all the time
