green oval 8 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Did you put in a 100w halogen or xenon bulb ,the halogen will be alot dimmer and more yellowish light than the xenon. Quote Link to post

T78 4 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 i'd say its 100% the fuse holder. i had exactly the same happen to me. chop it out and wire straight through!i've had no problems since i did it. Quote Link to post
rick 0 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Surprise, Surprise, something is up! I have a new bulb in it, but I noticed before the old bulb broke, that the beam was dim. Having replaced the bulb it is the same. The battery is fully charged (according to the charger) Now I've noticed that the beam is intermittent. It will stay on for a while, then go off, and return in a few seconds. I've no idea why it is like it, any ideas folks? :hmm: battery is goosed, or its got damp inside Quote Link to post

Thanks for the ideas folks Quote Link to post
Guest JohnGalway Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Did you use new connections and if ya did what were they? I feel a bit of dabbling coming on in the new year. Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 This is how it is at the moment John. The short length of wire that connected the battery to a cigar lighter connection has new Spade connectors. From the Cigar plug to the Lamp is the same, I've not touched that. Instead of going through a fuse to the battery, the spade connectors now go straight onto the battery. So they can be moved for charging easily enough and I can still use the Cigar Lighter connection to quickly detach the lamp out in the field if needs be. SS Quote Link to post
