Bright lights for winter nights is the article, p36 N0401.

I replaced a D cell in a StarLite with a 3-AA series converter like this, works well with a 5V LED. PS I may well have some spares kicking around, I can’t remember if I bought one or ten!

Not seen those before :)
The article was about restoring lamps with the larger battery such as the 800 everready or similar but these also have adaptors already available which I wasn't aware of either https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183764471413

Your Starlight is in amazingly good condition!

I used these on one of those Terrys brackets which were sold as basket clips, but would fit over the handle bars. The Starlight didn't bounce around as much as the heavier twin cell light, and since neither gave any useful illumination of the road, it seemed a better bet. However 'Bobby Dodger' was an accurate description.
