?Bike Lights compatible with dutch handlebars?

[SanSan]

We need some more powerful lights (500-1000+ lumen for off-road use) for our ebikes which are factory fitted with axa 20lumen wired to the battery. Sounds easy but our bikes have dutch (swept back) bars so fitting the light to the bars would (??) point the light sideways (we have the big Nyon controller in the center).

I cant find any lights which show the mounting options in the pictures being rotatable, - ideally the best place would be on the headset rather than bars.


any ideas or similar probles/solutions?

Blimey! I was just looking outside and it’s going dark. I thought I’d better have a quick look online for a bracket to hold one of my torches to the bike.

Absolutely first click on the iPad was this message

A pair are on their way here by the magic of prime and will be on the bike by this time tomorrow.......

I have Mary bars like this, sort of half Dutch!

A bit extraordinary but fully practical and really comfortable! Give the Mary bars a go and find out yourself. Width: 645mm Back Sweep: 31.8mm Bar = 85mm Grip area: 169mm Rise: 37.5mm Meet Mary... Our classic alt-bar. We like to think of it as an extreme sweep riser bar. It's a bit odd, but...

I have a fix position light with a rubber band style. By using Sugru I reshaped the curve of the light fixing to face forward instead of 45degree angle.

When I am back home I shall take pics as not easy to explain I think

All makes sense to me as I have used Sugru in the past.
