    I recently made the mistake of borrowing a couple of Interfit EX150 heads from a friend. I also made the mistake of overestimating their ability to handle some pretty constant use over the space of a fortnight.

    Both lights have blown their fuses, and on replacing the fuses....they blow those fuses too!

    Unfortunately their doesnt seem to be anywhere in Glasgow that will have a look at them for me, can anyone point me in the direction of a company that operate online who do repairs on things like this? If its even worth ficing them at all?

    Cheers!

    Sorry I can't help you. You could try in one of the Tech forums. Hope you get them fixed.

    Btw, What do you mean by some pretty constant use?

    Cheers dude, not to worry theyre not the most expensive lights in the world...but its gonna come out of the money i had put aside for my own! :eek:

    I was cataloging a warehouse full of garden pottery & furniture (something like 2000 different items) so they got hit with 8 hours a day for a fortnight in an environment that wasnt particularly keen on electricity in the first place!

    I guess that'd do it... They're probably fried. Suppose that's the main difference between pro lights and entry level lights.
