It's very similar to the P&H (Powell and Hanmer) of the period - mid 1920s when electric lights were an accessory. I've not seen one before, but very nice indeed. There was probably a headlamp to match.

Is that definitely bike related though?

Almost certainly. It would clamp to a frame tube (seat post, front down tube or lower tank rail), with belt drive from a convenient spot.
