tinytim38 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Can anyone help me on this one, I have a lightforce 170 scope scope mounted lamp with an inline rocker wsitch, however the original switch burned out, so I replaced it with a similar design from Focus DIY, the type that is used for a table lamp, however these are only rated for 3 amp, and my lamp is pulling 8.5 amps, no prizes for guessing the outcome, burned switch after not too long.Which I think was the problem with original lightforce switch. I have found plenty of toggle switchs, and rocker switches that will handle the load, but nothing that is inline as this is the best type for the velcro fastening to the stock of the rifle. any ideas?
