An easy fix is to pick the light you want (Surefire, Pentagon, Pelican, etc.), use a dual rail front sight base mount and then select the ring mount you want to secure the light to the rail. -



To secure the tapeswitch you might want to use a tapeswitch retaining band like shown below -

Mountain Bike Inner Tubes work very well as "Zip Bads" to secure things like Remote Switch cords etc.
