Hmmm... a heavier bracket might do the trick. Mostly, this makes me glad that my commute is relatively low-pothole, so it hasn't caused things to fall off.
Agreed that a bolt-on bracket is a nice thing, though. My rear light is attached to my rear rack with a kludged-on heavier bracket than it came with, since the bracket it came with wouldn't fit the spots I needed it to, so I scavenged one off an old unused reflector.
Also, the suggestion of an extra light is a good call, especially if this has been a recurring problem. Even if it's just a spare clip one that lives in an on-bike storage or in your bag or something.
