Vintage Style Headlights

Hey guys, I want to buy a headlight for my 1985 Schwinn Traveler.

I'm looking for a modern light with a vintage style, (torpedo stuff if you will).

It needs to work really well too!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This was discussed elsewhere in C&V recently, I think. Busch+Muller makes a vintage-styled LED headlight. I have two of their LED headlights (not the vintage one though, I bought them before the vintage one came out) and they are very bright. They are generator-powered.
