Hi All,
Does anyone know if the Nightscanner has an over temp cut off, or similiar?
The reason I ask is that I have a one fitted on my JetBox which is approximately 18 months old and has been used only about 12 times. Last night I used it to recce a landing site and it switched itself off. It had been on for maybe 2 or 3 continuous minutes.
The circuit breaker hadn't popped and the operating switch had not moved, the bulb simply went out. I thought that it had blown. After stowing the light and leaving it for a few minutes, it worked again perfectly and continued to do so throughout the evening.
Any ideas? A gremlin maybe? Or it had overheated and shut off?
Joel :ok:
