Maximus Ferret 2,059 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 If anyone can explain how to do a fix could we have this thread pinned please? I use a blitz variable. I love it and if the wiring goes I want to be able to fix it. Quote Link to post

And dont forget to put a knot in the wire in the handle you know the bit with the red clip things at the bottom of the handle,That way the knot takes any strain and not the connections that cause all the problems.

Sound advice, With my latest lamp (2 year old now) I put a knot up inside the handle, to stop strain on the wires, and had nothing has gone wrong yet! Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I can't seem to get the silver rivet bolt out? When you say "tap" it .............. do you mean get the nail/punch stuck in the hole and pull the rivet out?? There is no opening on the other side to tap it through?? My brain is tiny............... Quote Link to post

My brain is tiny............... No what i mean is hit it threw hard and it should break the rivet out , Then i just use a match or bit of stick too lodge it in for future reference, Either way that has too come out too fix the the wires in side, Iv known people too drill them out, BUT becareful doing it this way as theres two red wires directly behind it.........

Leeview 787 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 drill it out BUT only take the head of the rivet and it will drop out Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
ross 1 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I had an issue with my first lightforce lamp, i was working for a sign company at the time took it to work, took it apart put better connections on and put a cable-tie round the cable to take any pressure of the connections. Probably of know use, but worked for mine Quote Link to post
