Default Re: Ever Ready / Pifco / Trehawk front cycle lights

I have LED lamps on my bike nowadays (front and rear) but only tend to switch the front one on for being seen, rather than to see. If a car comes or I see something moving, I blip it on. It's surprising how quickly one gets used to the darkness, although I live out in the badlands with one street lamp on my route to and from work (I live too near not to cycle there). I could manage comfortably with a 'traditional' bicycle lamp, but would need a fork bracket.

I have an Ever Ready 2 x D-Cell plastic front lamp, which has a ribbed lens from my old bike, but it's a while since I saw one of the plain glass tin Ever Ready (or flashier chromed Pifco) lamps other than on eBay. I might be tempted...

I also have a traditional Miller 6V dynamo set, which was made in India.
