sometimes, you are between a rock and a hard place.

fit a light of any type and you reduce the risk of tripping over in the dark

but if there was a fault and they were touching the light, you have increased the risk.

cant win situation. just do what you think is morally correct at the time and be happy with it.
Sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two evils. Safety is not always black and white.
 
Wouldn't stay the right way for me, so snipped it and it worked.
