I hear you on the mounting. THis is actually more a function of the stock vela orange holes than my preference. I have gone above and below their mounting points on various builds, and above ends up pointing at the moon, and below (as in this post) ends up low and just at horizontal. In defense of the situation here, the light has an amazing angle of view as well as casting a large red area on the ground. The Secula has solved most of the things I considered shortcomings of the existing lights. So well that I am no longer even thinking about my own hacked improvements
