I agree Ben, but there is a problem. To get the light in behind the bars they have to be that far apart and that high. I'll post a pic of a guard on the bench so you can see. The hole for the bulb holder part of the light has to be oversized also. Even so the light has to be angled just so to get in and under the bars and lie against the plate of the guard.

"Cute" , well isn't that sweet.
