Customizing lamp

[BRAN 0]

Well lads, need some advice from the hardcore lampers. only recently got a lightforce striker and battery pack, six months ago. I've been on before about this, I brought the lamp to a few places and

to a mate who is a spark and he thinks that there is a break in the wiring which is causing the fuses to blow so quickly. You can imagine the madness this is causing, had to cancel at least three or four hunts midway plus the xxxxxxx thing cost me £140! What I need to know is how to customize the lamp so that this doesn't happen, and secondly the most efficient way to operate this lamp as the next thing which will blow is not a fuse but my brain

Depends if you use the cigaret lighter part, I dont, so i just rewired the entire thing with one bit of wire straight from the battery to the lamp, no conections and no fuse.

 

Havent had a problem since.

easy as sleeping.ive done it to many of my lamps,worst thing that can happen is the bulb blow.is it a sealed lamp or halogen bulb?

yes mate, just make sure the conection just inside the lamp is strong

either a bit of solder or a screw down electric conector, and bolt the other end onto the battery.

MATE THE HANDLES ARE NOT A SEALED UNIT. IF YOU PRESS THE TWO RED THINGS IETHER SIDE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HANDLE , THE END COMES OFF. .

 

THEN PULL A LITTLE OF THE SPARE WIRING OUT, AND TIE A HALF HITCH IN IT . THEN STUFF THAT BACK IN SIDE THE HANDLE. THE KNOT WILL NOT PULL THROUGH THE HOLE SO TAKING THE PREASURE OF THE CONECTIONS.

 

HOPE THIS MAKES SENCE TOMO

It sounds like a bad design fault, wonder why they haven't picked up on it?

i knw what you mean mate but the wires went right at the top of the handle near the switch erea and there was no way you could get it 2 so we cut the handle all the way up 2 gwt 2 the problem what a pike of shit these lamps are eceppt for when they are working

No need to cut it, just drill the rivet out which holds the bulb holder in, nemove the nut on the switch and all of the wireing will come out.

I ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM , I HAD TO REWIRE A COMPLETE NEW CABLE IN AND CUT OUT THAT SHITTY CIGARETTE HOLDER AND WIRE IT STRAIGHT TO THE CONNECTORS , FOR THE MONEY THEY COST YOU THINK THEY WOULD BE BETTER MADE

If you take the rubber cover off the switch, the switch will unscrew as well, allowing the wiring to be dropped out of the handle so you can re-wire the switch as well.
