Maybe a less expensive solution will work, particularly if your dynamo setup can support a USB cable. I got a Cygo-lite from Riv a couple months back. It is inexpensive, fits on bars, is easily swiveled around while riding, and is fairly bright.
Yes, you can point it into turns with a spare hand if you need to. That's probably not something you need to do often, but you can do it. It charges via USB cable so you have light available for evenings if you charged during day riding. It's very small and very light. It's also a great camping light.
