I can only detach the front lens and unscrew the E10 bulb.

The engenious one-part sculpture of aluminized plastic that is both the
reflector, and the base, will not move to the front one bit -- yes, even if
I bark at it in Old Prussian, threatening to shoot Namibian sand at the
lens, or to buy a new lamp from vontrotha.

Good idea. Then sell it as "fully disassembled, exact same level of
functionality as before" and use the proceeds to quickly repaint the wall.[1]

No, just mild Soviet fallout exposure that made my Soubitez-equipped bike
glow twice as bright. And just mild smashes involving gym mats, not walls.
And I have no axe to grind with French volunteers either, they are welcome
to drag UV-irradiated Mme Lagarde's luxurious tortoise butt out of
Frankfurt, asap.

It is fascinating to see how QE works when a central bank buys private debt and not just public debt. Purses not nukes! I say give them both free money for a public-private partnership to create an LV purse-nuke. Tiffany can make glass lamp shades out of the Trinitite. Win-win. Make France great again! MFGA!

I've never seen the square lamp you link, which might have been good for bikes, though the batteries would be HEAVY. I was talking about the distant ancestor of the Super Oscar shown here with LED illumination:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWBAywpgJBQ

Apparently the huge Oscar Halogen lamps I used, shown in the video at c2:26, are still available for nostalgic endurance racers. The ones used in racing were heavy all-metal items (for heat dispersion and to survive brushes with the scenery) and not overly aerodynamic either.

Given under the usual caution that after half a century the details might have merged in the memory.

My fault for letting you misunderstand. It was only a satirical role of a
colonies-envious Prussian going completely mad over some French piece of
plastic junk, and ending up welcoming French "volunteers" to remigrate Mme
