How would I fix a security light to a timber frame tile clad house?

Obviously there is no brick to drill or fix in to.

I can't drill through the tiles and fix on to the timber behind because this
would risk loosening the tiles and, possibly, would compromise the timber.
Wouldn't it?

Remove the tiles and fabricate a bracket to screw into the battens. The
bracket can emerge through the horizontal gap between courses of tiles.

All the tiles are nailed on tile cladding. Best way make a brakit out
of metal and hook it over the head of the tile above.
