So for context I have a gin x sleek display e bike. I’ve been searching for a good front light as the one that’s integrated isn’t the brightest when I’m coming home from work (I work in a bar and often ride late at night) I bought the magic shine RN1500S which is an out front mounted light. But I can’t get it to grip onto my handle bars. They’re not a perfect circle. It’s got a flat top and wider in the middle and then moves to more of a circle towards the handle bars. Am I missing something here ? I’ve tightened it so much but a bit of force the light comes loose and flops down. I’ve been trying for about 4hrs and I’m going insane. Do I need a different fitting style ? Or am I just being completely stupid please help me !!

This has to be the weirdest bike design I have seen in awhile. You have a one piece handle bar, not cheap to do, with like a $10 derailleur. Very interesting choices made here. Anyway return the light and get this

Just attach it to your helmet and it’s a better light. Uses the GoPro style mount
I’d ask at a local bike shop if they can upgrade your integrated light. You can usually get something better, mounted in the same place, no need to faff around with trying to attach a battery operated one to your handlebars.
