Does this headlight look familiar?

This was in the crawl space when we moved into our house. I'm just curious if anyone can provide more info about its history. I'm planning to install an LED circuit and mount it to my rat project: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wq0qfbaae44xs03/2014-02-13 17.07.25.jpg



Thanks for looking!

Nope but it looks cool. Will say that is the most expensive bike light ive ever seen....only had to buy a whole house to get it.

I'm not an expert on these things, but maybe you could google Silver Ray and see how it compares.

Good call Dave. Looks like if it had the base it could sell for $200

Holy cow! That's why I asked BEFORE I started drilling holes and stuff. Thanks!

Yeah, that's definitely it. Now I need to decide whether to sell it instead. I have other suitable headlights that I don't mind hacking.

Glad to hear that you won't be updating this particular fender light.

I've put it up for sale!

There were also bikes that would have had a pair of these mounted to a bracket, thus not requiring a base. This could have been one of those, or just missing a base, like many are. Great find! It'd be worth mentioning in the listing if it's a glass lens; I can't tell from the pictures, but those are more desirable.

Good luck with the sale. You did a great job with your description on ebay.

Thanks y'all. I sold it last night for $152.50!
