Ted,
Does it look like there is room to run the conduit down the very leading
edge? Along the front side of the front spare, just inside the curve?
Seems it couldn't move much at all in there and you wouldn't have to put in
a zillion clamps, however not sure how much room to get wires around the
forward attach fitting. Maybe jog it back to the other side just before
getting there.
Of course my FB fuselage is just like yours so if the lights stop working
I'll know where to look <grin>.

Ted,
Did you insert the picture in the matronic's list or just the rebel list
archives? I didn't see it here, not sure if you knew that you can now
insert (or was it attach?) right into the Matronic's emails now.

See uploaded picture in SR-Moose, 106 S/M Wings.
In taking apart one of my wing leading edge skins, I discovered that the
plastic tube that protects wires as well as my pitot / static tubes was
simply zip-tied to all of the leading edge ribs. As you can see in the
uploaded picture, after about 230 hours in my plane, the "protective" tube
in mine is a short time away from cutting wires / tubes. About half of the
rib-attachments show cuts of this magnitude.
I think someone told me that Moose quick build wings all have their wires /
pitot tubes routed (zip-tied) like this. Is that true, or am I just lucky?
Seems that there's a lurking problem out there...

Ted, are any of the "looser" ones doing this? Just wondering if it is okay
if they hadn't pulled the wrap tie so tight?
Another way is to use a short piece of rubber hose as a stand off and still
use the wrap tie. Wrap tie goes around whatever through the hose and then
around the other whatever. I have a bunch of stand offs like that in my
engine compartment and it works great.

Yes, it it just the ribs with the tighter zip-ties that exhibit the problem.
Of course, there's no way to know what's loose or tight if one didn't see
inside their wing before it was closed up.
I like your simple approach for the stand-offs.
