You could easily rig up a QR (spade connectors, say) for the wire near
the lamp and attach the lamp to the bracket with a wingnut. The hassle
would be to repeatedly have to find that elusive "just right" lamp
angle when you re-install.

Speaking of cheap ($40) 3 AAA or 4 AA led lights: these have improved
hugely since the appearance of those old Cateyes in the early '90s.
I've not used the PB Blaze 2 w, but I expect that it is as good as the
mid-'00s one-piece LED - cum- rechargeable battery unit ($130 list
circa 2005) that I also owned, given the power of the less
sophisticated 1 w models.

And compare the old Vistalites with any modern blinkie.

That said, there is much to be said for a dynamo powered light -- the
best have better beam patterns than any battery light I've used, cheap
or expensive and more power than the cheap ones.

I wonder what would happen if you attached your dynamo power and
ground wires to a cheap LED battery lamp?
