What is the proper way to hoist an oil anchor light up a sailboat mast?

Fastened the handle to a hank on the jib stay or staysail stay and hoist high enough so that wind and roll does not cause it to contact mast. Also fastening a light line to the bottom of the lamp keeps the swing at bay and makes returning to the deck easier. This method can also be used for battery LED anchor lights.
