Dynamo front lamp for Brompton

[Yellow Fang]

I bought a replacement front lamp for my Brompton about 18 months ago. It runs off the hub dynamo While it is much brighter than the lamps I used before, it annoyingly interferes with the front pannier. The lamp is basically too big. Can anyone recommend another lamp, preferably with measurements?

Is it a new light you need or a new bracket?

Is there a way you can 'modify' the bracket so the light sits lower?

I could do maybe, but I don't like doing that. It weakens the bracket which eventually breaks.

Everything breaks eventually.

I run a B+M Luxos U on the front of Henrietta and drop a T-Bag onto the Imperium Cycles block without there being any problem. It looks like it rubs, but it doesn't seem to affect the illumination pattern.

I heard the B&M Lyt recommended as a Brompton light - no personal experience though.

I use a Philips Saferide (60?). Quite a squat lamp so doesn't interfere with the bag on the front. The bracket doesn't look like the stock one so I am wondering if I kept the bracket from the previous lamp or used one from my box of bits.

In the end I didn't need another lamp, just a bracket specifically designed for the Brompton, which curls over the brake callipers.
