walksatnight 6 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 get rid of the fuse all together mate thats what most of the lads do no more blown fuses half way through the night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,478 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Manufacturers tend to go to the trouble and expense of building fuses into circuits for the safety of either people or equipment or both. (commonly they are also required to comply with electrical regulations) I have no idea what fuse is meant to be in the Logan but if you took out a 5amp 250V and that is the original fuse then replace with the same. Any electric wholesaler or half decent electric store or DIY store will have them. Edited December 17, 2007 by Deker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not a good idea to turf it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest craftycarper Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 the fuse is there as you said 'to protect the battery' i've tried b&q no joy there either, if i can't find one then it's a wrap in foil job as i may need to get out tonight, don't rate these lamps anyway, it's only of use for poking around the barn for ferals and thats it basically Quote Link to post Share on other sites
landrover 6 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 the logan lamp is designed for the airrifle (close range ) thats why it's not much use, put a ordinary house fuse in (5amp)or 13amp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,478 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 You guys crease me up...it's a free world and you do and think what you want............. but the primary objective of any fuse is people protection, and secondary objective is equipment protection. In this case it is there to protect you and all of the circuit...Not just the battery! Some of the comments posted here in relation to your respect of electricity would leave me with serious concerns about your long term health. But I do agree with your overall assessment of the Logan Lamp Cheers Deker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How come there's no fuse in a torch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Put your hand on an electric fence when you are out next...most run off 12v. Next time you get a sparky round ask him to explain about conductivity and the difference between volts and amps, and ask him if 12v can kill you! Whilst you are at it ask him why the Police Taser gun which runs at 50,000volts tends not to kill people. Like I said .......

Deker Don't lecture me deker mate, I know know full well that it's not the voltage that kills, its the amps. You don't even need 12v to kill you, if there is enough ampage behind it, as anybody who even payed attention in physics could tell you. We could also sit here and discuss ohms law (V = I over R) if you want to get technical, which you tend to do. READ MY POST. Did I tell anybody that it was a good idea to remove the fuse? I know enough about electricity to leave it to people who know what they're doing, if somethings there, it's there for a reason. I didn't state in my post that I knew what the fuse was there for, just offering a thought. I never presented it as a fact, or went into technical reasons, just thinking out loud really. You're obviously a VERY knowelgeable bloke, but you strike me as the sort of fellow who offers his opinion no matter what. Why can't you just give your advice and leave it at that? If people don't want to listen, that's up to them. Just remember, if someone built like a brick sh*thouse, was walking down the street, intimidating everyone smaller than him, he'd be a bully. I'd hesitate to call you a bully, but some of your replies, in which you use your knowlege to batter down anyone who dosn't know as much as you, get right on my t*ts. I enjoy your posts, and some of your answers, and if I needed a question answered, yours would be the advice i'd listen to, but remember mate, not everyone knows as much as you.

F*****g hell...I've just got back from a disaster shoot..... Calm down..calm down...I think it's you that needs a chill pill this time. I was not responding to ALL your posts, just the one attached and the coloured bit, about future health, was like the royal we, it was general and previously directed at the likes of foil.. 13 amp house fuse..get rid of the fuse, and this bit was meant to make it like it was not a lecture it's a free world and you do and think what you want ..misses put you on rations or something??
