The other one is for my elderly mother when getting up through the night as it lights her doorway from her bedroom at floor level for safety which a bedside lamp doesn’t do I previously had one of these and decided to purchase more as I found it extremely helpful at the top of my stairs and the torch is excellent too. My problem is that the resistor is now black and grey with no colour bands so I have no idea of its value.When the parts arrived and were fitted it was dis-appointing to find the charger would still not work, but a check of the transistor with the component tester revealed that its pins were BEC instead of ECB like the original! Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This probably way too late but having had one of these passed to me by a neighbour I went through much of which has been written here but believe some of the advice given does have problems.

Don't get caught short stumbling over in the dark on your way to the bathroom (we've all been there); this nightlight will power on, illuminating your route without the need to touch a button! Bought this product for my elderly parents, they no longer have to try and find the light switch on the landing in the dark.Smarts is a family run retail business based in Cheshire, specialising in online sales of highly sought after brands.

Friends in the city happened to have 2 of these , one of which had 'died' just like the one I already had, and they sent me a good clear photo of the internals as well as the dead unit! It might be an idea to put 2 capacitors in parallel to improve reliability as 8uF will not affect operation. the main capacitor fails 4uf at 450 volts is required and sometimes the mini fuse fails 1Amp and also the switching transistor which is a MJE13001 device can fail.

So I then did what I should have done as a matter of course and checked the reservoir electolitic, the biggest cause of countless problems which have caused expensive gear to be dumped in frustration and it was of course open circuit. I am reluctant to try various values as the charger circuit is at potentially mains voltage and the value is probably quite critical due to significant load changes when the torch unit is removed and replaced.
