I retrofitted a Magicshine Monteer 3500 to the auxiliary port on the Shimano motor on my Orbea rise.  Magicshine make an axillary cable that fits most of their lights regardless of whether they are e-bike listed.  max ouput is around 2000lumens without causing the light circuit to shut down, so I run the light at that output.
