Lightforce striker veritable power / dimmer required

[Smashing reds 479]

Could anyone help me lads, iv searched online high and low for one of these lamps, my one has kicked the bucket. As far as I know they're not made anymore. Its actually very hard get any sort of lightforce variable power lamps now.

If anyone in Ireland, England, Scotland or Wales has one that they're not using and interested in selling it could you let me know please.

Have you had a multi meter across the dimmer terminals to see if it’s the on/off switch that’s gone or the dimmer as if it’s the dimmer switch that’s gone it can be by passed to work as a normal lamp to get you by till you find a new lamp. I love the variable lamps id probably cry if mine was done for the thought of using a modern day LED lamp don’t sound appealing as I can’t see nowt with them LED lamps

I'd rather shite in my hands and clap than use them LED lamps beam are very hard to see anything with them. I have an ordinary lamp with no dimmer but dimmer is the only way to go.
