Suggest a light, please.

I agree with Radacrider. If you want a certain "look" then most ofmthe lights I could recommend look too utilitarian. I have a Nite Rider MiNewt 250 ( newer models are 350 & 600) and they are great from a function standpoint and the attachments easy on/off, but it likely does not have the look you like. You can do search to see what they look like. REI sells them.

I have never seen a light attached to a basket in a vintage bike, but the dynamo type (designed to attach at the base of the stem or the head tube) or even on the fender. See, for example:

You can see something similar in a Pashley: http://www.britishbicycle.com/pashle...ess-sovereign/

The other option I have seen is a 'torpedo' style light attached to the front fender. That would require some handy work to drill the holes in your fenders. See the first one here:

What I would worry is about the quality of these lights -- are they waterproof and bright enough?

I have seen pretty battery lights from Liix:

They come in all kinds of colors and there are 2 different sizes too. I like that they look oldscool, but use LEDs and Batteries.

edit: better link for all kinds of lights:

They have a lot of pretty bells, too.
