What is there besides a light that you have to re-attach?
I have not tried to use zip ties instead of an elastic band on such devices, but I would assume that a couple zip ties would work to make it more permanent. But zip ties can break so a thin cord to keep the device from falling off the bike if it breaks may be a good idea. I use a cord on my GPS so that if it comes loose, it hangs from the handlebar instead of bouncing on the concrete.
