Cheap replacement bar mount bike light head (Gloworm / Gemini style connector)?

I used to have one of the old Gloworm bike lights that connected to an external battery with the standard DC barrel jack connector. I can't post photos or links to external image hosting sites any more so can't directly link an example but its the standard, non-USB style connector that was prevalent on MTB lights in the past. The light broke a while back but I still have the battery, a barely used one from MTB Batteries.

I was going to buy a new light head from them but they no longer sell them. A lot of the new lights have a different USB interface now. Are there any sellers on AliExpress, eBay etc that still do these types of lights? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Older Magicshine or Solarstorm lights should work. It’s a standard dc 5.5/2.1 connector
