Thanks for the replies Jipe CEBEP glye
I was contemplating whether to order a different set of lights instead of the "stock" ones by R&M. I chose the E3 Pure as it was the smallest and the beam pattern was good without obstruction. Was undecided about the rear light as my bike rack is much lower and it is challenging to find a good location and space to mount a bigger rear light. Currently I have a rechargeable rear light under the saddle, but it would be difficult to replace it with a wired light as it would affect folding.

So I took a little "experimental" approach, and was even considering to use the E3 front only without the puny Airstream lights. The market for dynamo lights here is Singapore is practically non-existent as the majority of riders use rechargable clip on lights for convenience and weight savings.
