A Good Tip For Lightforce Lamper User,s

[swg dave 334]

I have had a couple of problems with the wiring on the 170 lamp,where the wire

goes up through the red plastic part that comes out at the bottom of the lamp handle.

i noticed where i had clumsily caught the wire a few times round barbed wire fences it had over time put strain on the wire where it connects up, so i gave my lamp to a sparks friend to have a look at who made some repairs to the wiring, but also pointed out that a (CABLE TIE) attached to each side of the red plastic insert where the wire enters the bottom of the handle therefore prevents any movement of the wire and no strain on the connections

up the handle, well its worked for me, and i have caught the wire from lamp to battery,

many times since, but up to now all still working fine, just thought id share..

Tomo was it you that had the cyclops lamp? and did you try the Lucas 130 watt halogen bulb in it?..

I do have a cyclops lamp,,,, but no I haven't changed the bulb,, it's not a bad lamp,,, but still not as good as the light force

Yeah Tomo it is called a LUCAS 130 watt HALOGEN BULB.

If you google that i am sure you will see it, any local car spare shop should be able to

order it for you..
