Lightforce plugs.

[Maximus Ferret 2,063]

The cigar lighter plug on my blitz often comes a little loose so the light winks out until the plug is pushed fully home again. I can't believe I'm the only person this happens to. What do people do? tape it in? remove it altogether? replace it with a jack plug?

Surely there's something that works. It drives me mad and the weight of the coiled cable means it keeps on happening.

rewire them with the black 3 pin plugs you can get from maplins mate, wont go far wrong

your right mate,your not the only one this happens too, the wiring on lightforce lamps are crap

loads of people have had problems with them.

i got the sparky at work to connect the wire inside the handle straight to the battery so there is no cig lighter ,coiled cable or dodgy connections to wory about.

i bought a battery charger with crocodile clips for £15

yes would agree the blitz plug went on mine , just wired it stright 2 battery might take a look in 2 maplins and see those plugs there talkin about , me being a electrician yad think i would have already done this ( lazeyness lol)

the switches are a night mare 2.

Cut the cigarette end off and put two spades on it then straite to the battery, I had problems years ago with wires on lightforce lamps,when I bought my blitz 3yrs ago as soon as I got it home I cut the connections straite off and fitted spades never had any problems mate

[rex 8]

Hard wire straight from battery to lamp is definitely the way to go!

[pistol pete01 25]

tape it up put in ruck sack works for me to

[tubba 38]

Mine was taped up but the solder will eventually drop to bits inside the cigar connector

In my oppinion mate i would rewire it as soon as you get it or it will let you down while you out and theres nothing worse than cutting a night short.

[pistol pete01 25]

are thay hard to rewire mate

[luke. 9]

Not at all pal, its basic whe you get the lamp apart.

Were abouts are you ?

definatley rewire it with a 3 pin plug on the lamp and a 3 pin socket wired straight to the battery terminals,
