Edit - First post, meant to post this in ebikes general discussion
Hello! Perhaps you can help me think of a creative solution to my light mounting problem.
I have a 52v battery and wanted to run my light off it directly. I found an inexpensive cree LED with an integrated voltage converter so it runs off the 52v battery directly. The light has a single threaded hole on the bottom that I can use to bolt it onto something.
Right now, I have it mounted on my handlebars but it's very janky, rattles, and can't be adjusted for light angle. I would like to mount it on the center fork, and take advantage of an existing center fork light mount that is made to be adjusted for tilt angle.
Also, I plan to use this for mountain bike trail riding at night, so I want a mount that will hold up to some abuse and not fall off or lose it's angle every time I hit a bump. Any recommendations?
I was looking at this mount, has anyone tried it?

The next issue would be exactly how to mount the light to the bracket. It seems that most light mounting brackets have some kind of quick detach system. Does anyone know if it's possible to buy the male part of a quick detach which I could screw into my light? Alternatively, I could probably just run a screw directly through the plastic piece there and into the threaded hole on my light..
