Modern light on old bikes

[SantaHul]

Quick question, what do people use to attach modern lights to this type of bracket? I want to attach a Lumotec or some other modern dynamo powered light to it but can't find anything for the job. My fork crown is really tight and won't accomodate a light bracket.

I still use these old brackets for my battery lamps with modern battery holder inserts. I always use back up modern LEDs. Im sure with some tinkering a modern LED light by CatEye or Moon could be made to fit.

Of course an old Miller dynamo still does the trick...

In this shot I did manage to get a Cateye LED clamped onto the fork...

nothing wrong with making your own lamps and customizing existing brackets using modern bits

Cheers guys. The brackets like on that blue Carlton are readily available but I can't find any way of mounting a Lumotec etc. to it as they're all designed to go on the fork crown. FYI I already have the dynamo hub so don't want to go with a traditional dynamo or battery power.

Is there a particular name for this kind of light fitting? If I Google fork mounted light I obviously just get fork crown mount lights.
