RossM 8,121 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Strip it down and check the wiring in the handle itself Quote Link to post
Giro 2,648 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Watch it don't burn your house down mate.. Sounds bit dodgy.. Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,526 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Sounds like it's shorting out inside the handle. Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,526 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 If it's still under warranty don't strip it take it back. Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 New switch on it. Rewire it from the bulb holder to the battery with better wiring. And be done with cheap fag lighter connectors either put better sturdy ones or wire straight to the battery 1 Quote Link to post

lurcher666phil 43 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 For the money we all pay for these lamps they realy are poor quality in the wiring department 4 Quote Link to post
lurchers 2,878 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I would convert the wireing to better quality and switch mate atb Quote Link to post
thirsty ferret 1 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 where would I get a new switch and wire from? Quote Link to post
~REDWALL~ 60 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Wireing broke in my lightforce stricker last night ..only used it six times ... Quote Link to post
dogmad riley 1,347 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Dimmer circuit board set fire on mine half way round the land, the wiring on these lamps is shocking for the price they charge. Rewired mine and is spot on Quote Link to post
