Was going to buy this off eBay:-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231080258567&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123
And not bother with your kind offer as it is not overly large and takes 4 x AA batteries. Combined with a 1 amp replacement LED it would be equivalent to a fog lamp!!. But asked the seller:-
"Could you let me know make and model of light. Thank you for your time JB"
His reply was:- "hi. its. lee yang kao model .. ly-1003 thanks"
Might be retro model in China but not here! I wonder what bulb it is? Asked him in a second email awaiting an answer. To be honest not bothered if retro or not!

I had them on my Puch Pacemaker at around the same time. Actually maybe a bit earlier! My Dad used to sell these lights in his LBS, they were one of his biggest sellers.Ha, I used to have these on my 10 speed Sun racer when I was doing my paper round, circa 1984
Emailed nicelight they said it didn't matter if you used 1 or 6 batteries the light output is the same
"Nicelite bulbs have an accurate power regulator inside. Within the
voltage range there is little difference in brightness. If the voltage
varies, such as a battery discharging, the amps are adjusted to keep the
power constant, and therefore the brightness."
The battery discharging on disposable or voltage to be precise means you have to get rid before they are fully discharged. Definitely get more for your money. Always worried with rechargeable as they go out to quickly.

Well? What do you reckon to the nicelights bulbs?
It does not matter how many batteries you use as long as the voltage falls between 1.5 - 9 volts. Using the 1amp bulb you get 120 lumens. It does not matter how many batteries you have in.

Looks like a brilliant website- but got a bit overloaded with the range available! I'll take the lamps apart to check what the bulbs look like so haven't ordered them yet B, but I'll sort it out at the weekend... thanks for checking. Cheers.
Don't know as I have decided to use rechargeables. Don't like using them normally because they go out sp quick. But these bulbs have a regulator which keeps the same brightness even as voltage falls. So disposable batteries may end up behaving in the same way although not quite as extreme as rechargeable.
May add these as they flash and the maths say they are very bright. 2 x 1/2 amp
