Does anyone know where to find an oversized spotlight style light that can fit on the handlebar stem mount found on Raleigh Sports bikes?
This is the mount and light for reference

Those bikes have been out of production for so long that no one’s gonna make accessories for it anymore as far as I know.
I just use headlights that attach with a big rubber O-ring onto the handlebars.
These lights are plenty bright, they’ll light a building from across the street.

Have you looked for “Ever Ready Frontguard light”?
Later models (I think the Frontguard II) had a robust plastic bracket but the originals and it’s predecessor metal bodied lamp was designed for brackets like yours. The metal lamps relied on a spring plate to maintain position on the bracket so would rarely remain attached after the first pothole you hit. The later plastic bodied model held to the bracket by a bolted clamp and gave much better focused beam.
