I have one mid fork level pointing the way home, and a flashing one on the bars so I can be seen. The wheel, fork does cast a bit of shadow to the nearside but not too bad. A light with good bright beam and decent light spread, cateye 300 works fine for me.

Closer to eye height is better for your main light. They're alright for a 2nd light. If you put a strong light on there the angle will dazzle and carry long shadows and scare small children.
If your main light is on your dropbars it can get obscured at certain angles by your hoods+hands. A light on the fork crown or leg can be seen from those angles through the wheel.

I had mine usually at mid length, the idea is to spread the beam more, and I can make out imperfections on the road, quite useful for spotting potholes.
Course this work best with decent light that's bright enough to look like a motorised vehicle.

Is having a front light at the wheel level a good idea? seems like its too low for cars without having them too high to see the road. i could be wrong if anyone has experience.
