Old vintage raleigh headlight

[Sherfy]

Poke around on ebay, and was curious someone could point me in the direction of an old headlight.

Looking for a source of an old raleigh headlight, something that came off an old raleigh sports.

Thanks!

A normal "bullet" headlight would look just right on a laid back Raleigh.

These kinds of lights look nice on the outside, but are really rather pathetic as far as the light they put out goes. The bulb is an ANCIENT screw-in type, and the bulb-retention spring also holds the bulb in the reflector, so you can't easily switch it to a modern flashlight bulb or a LED conversion.

A number of places sell the same light from Electra that already has a LED in it, I don't know what LED type or how bright it is, they never say. Descriptions that I saw said the Electra LED lights use two AA batteries, but the regular-bulb one I bought uses two C's.

The killer mod would be to get one of the $30 CREE flashlights from Lowe's and get that hooked up inside the regular-bulb version.

There's also these, which have the right look and don't use up batteries:
