As for the attachment, I'd probably just strap it to the frame; I've never had a clip-on that didn't fall off the saddlebag, and you've got plenty of room and ample visibility.
Yes that is what a logical person would do. But this frame is in really great shape and this bike in general has been the bike I fiddle with more than any of my other bikes, so it feels wrong for me to strap anything to the frame. Yes. Illogical I know.

I used to wear a helmet like that. Until one time my wife followed me and told me that the light did nothing most of the time because when I am leaning forward the light is pointing up in the sky.

I would go as far as to say that no bike light is bright enough in broad daylight. Actually there are two problems- too dim and too small. The latter is probably the bigger issue.
