Electrical Question
« on: 05 September 2009, 22:25:21 »
Sorting stuff out I found a table top brass bankers type lamp.  Thought it wasnt working, gave it a polish and the light then poped on like aflash and then went out.

Tried afew times and got it to work intermiantly, then the bulb did pop.
Tis lamp has got 3 brightnes's and is the touch sensitive type.

How do the actually work. 

TIA.   :y

Not sure.  Would not work at all whilst it was dusty.  Then the more it got cleaned up the better it worked.  Not sure if the bulb was 1005 though. 

Getting a new one on Monday o will see howit goes.
