day worker 296 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 the other night i had to cut my lamping trip short due to the lamp dimming! i put this down to a faulty battery so went out and bought a new one. well i've just come home because of the same problem! could this be down to faulty connections or damaged wiring or even the switch or bulb????? any info appreciated!!!! cheers rob Quote Link to post
3 and counting 22 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thought about the bulb? had it on bikes and cars and even with cheap indoor (240v) bulbs, before they blow they arn't as bright if you get my drift. Maybe worth putting a replacement in and give it a try. Bri Quote Link to post
