Hi all,

whilst we were away recently in our van (1995 abbey chours), I switched on the toilet light it half came on made a fuzzing noise then went off. The next day I swopped the bulb for the one above the kitchen sink as I was nowhere a spare shop. But it still didn't work! you can clearly see that the original buld had blown because there's a black ring on the inside of the glass. So my next step was to put the second bulb back int the kitchen light to try it but that doesn't work either. All fuses have been checked and are ok, are both the lights linked and is it possible that both units are blown?

Many thanks arl

yes it is possible both have failed now.try to find a fuse as when it blew the tube it could have blown the fuse.take care as these strip lights are boosted from 12 volts to 120 volts to light the tube.new ones can be bought from labcraft direct about £20.

Thanks for the reply Michael,
Whats the best way to test unit? I would assume using a multimeter on to the soldered connections in the back of the unit? What voltage should I be seeing? And does it need to have a 240v mains feed?

Many thanks Carl

strip lights are normally 12 volt and fed from the battery supply,ie.12 volt.using a EHU cable should ensure you have a 12 volt supply from the charger unless its an old van and 12 volt is not built into the charger system.check battery first if full it should be 12.7 volts.
