Stewy 1 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 We have a few light force lamps and all of them have gone lampy, if its not the bulb its the trigger, if its not the trigger its the connector to the battery. Quote Link to post

GET THEM OUT (.)(.) 39 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 We have a few light force lamps and all of them have gone lampy, if its not the bulb its the trigger, if its not the trigger its the connector to the battery. just rewire them easy and if done correct should last years Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Think you will find that bulbs go in most lamps, but the wiring on thr lightforce is bolix, take couple of feet of the strimmer and rewire the lamp. Job oxo. Quote Link to post
bull101 35 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 been using a deben tracer max for a while now and i must say its a great lamp never had a problem with it (over 3/4years now).........but must admit the beam isnt as long range as the striker Quote Link to post

taff3915 2 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have seen loads of posts with people saying that they have had to rewire the lightforce lamps, if there that bad why do people buy them>? Also if everyone who has had to rewire them placed a complaint surely the company would consider a better design to keep people coming back ? Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,630 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 a few of us have complained to lightforce, i sent them a real sarcastic e mail a few year back, so did others from these sites they did reply to my email, appologising for the problems, but not alot more. in fact it would be a good idea for evryone that has had probs, emailing them again Quote Link to post
hullhunter 219 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 they are cr*p. the only reason people bye them is because there is no other beam that comes close so we have to put up with the fact that you have to fix them every time we go out. Quote Link to post
GET THEM OUT (.)(.) 39 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 to start with we was trying to bodge them now we just rewire the whole lamp, but tape the wire ridgid were it leaves the lamp handle as it rocks back and forward as you walk thats were they normally were out, Quote Link to post
taff3915 2 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 had a feeling the lamps beam was what kept people buying, its a shame the company doesnt listen and improve the lamps Quote Link to post
samboy 315 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 HAD MY 170 LESS THAN A WEEK AND THE DIMMER HAS GONE, COULD NOT TAKE IT BACK AS I HAD CUT THE CIGAR PLUG OFF.

Job oxo. That sure looks more heavy duty than the normal wire I'll try it. Quote Link to post
