Tizzi 1 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hi Everyone, Anyone had issues with a Ucaller lamp before? Ive had mine all last season with no issues, a little bit dodgey at the cig lighter end but took it out first time the other night and its stopped all together? Any ideas? Checked bulb all internal wiring etc and all looks good? inline fuse looks fine too but it wont work for shite! Cheers Quote Link to post

CallumDonohoe 65 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 i have a ucaller it was the wire inside the the cig connection come off then the cable melted and it went off so i changed the cable and its been fine since but now the chrome reflector is starting to discolor and i am getting a little dark spot on the beam mind i have used it alot and still think it was worth 48quid my mate has the lightforce 170 and there isnt any difference in them Quote Link to post
seang 163 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 take bulb out and see is there power going to the bulbholder with a low voltage phase tester if you have one Quote Link to post
Tizzi 1 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ok, dont have a phase tester... Plastic in the cig lighter is a bit melted in places a bit around the fuse, would the fuse be gone but look ok? Did you replace the whole wire or just the wire in the cig lighter? Quote Link to post
seang 163 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 id chance changing the fuse first just make sure all the connections are ok on cig lighter Quote Link to post
CallumDonohoe 65 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 i replaced the whole wire it was easy just got an old cable of tv then popped the little red cap out of the bottom then pulled the wire down to the bottom of the handle and there was connections there unplugged them then connected new cable to that i put a cable tie tight around cable above the red cap and one below the red cap to stop the cable pulling inside the lamp as well been fine ever since the cable it comes with is useless the actual wire inside is really thin and snaps and melts i am due another one soon and the first thing i will do is change the cable worst thing ever when you just get out lamping and the lamp goes off 1 Quote Link to post
