I have a Schwinn-approved Soubitez with integral incandescent headlight. I've used it from time to time on my Trek 610 town bike (current incarnation of my 610!) It's still kicking, I bought it around 1969. I think I'm going to take off the Soubitez "golf ball" and use it with a lower-priced B&M light or my spare halogen Edelux.
