Forgive me, but updating an old dyno..

Sorry if this is a repeat question.

I went nuts and bought a 1959 Raleigh 3-sp Sports, with a dyno front hub that may not be OEM, but the rims are exact matches and the original owner says it came that way. Go figure, $75 was a lot of coin then....

OK, So.... The HL and TL both work, and I'm getting juice. I haven't yet decided on any kind of overhaul, but I'd like to run LED's in the HL and TL, without a huge overhaul, and see a decent increase in available lumens, I guess.

I ran a bottle dyno in the late 60's on my paper route bike, and let's just say I could use more light at my age now.

I already plan on replacing the HL bezel, which is yellowed. I can get clear glass easily.

Are there halogen or LED solutions I can perhaps try? I'm fairly sure I can make a mount for whatever bulb I end up with. Did the same on my riding mower and it sure extends the day.

Is heat an issue? I'm assuming not, with LED's.

Any information would be helpful.
