I have a Daylight Coy. lamp model no. 22020 - 7 inch magnifying lens with a "daylight" tube in the shape of a ring. The light went out, the tube went bong and then there was darkness.
I have replaced the tube, replaced the fuse and used alternative mains sockets... nothing.
Removing the cover plate in the underside of the lamp head I found a circuit board (about 2.5: in diameter) with about a dozen discrete components.... and an interesting smell. I rang Daylight Coy. Customer Service to be told that my lamp is old and that there are no spares(!)... and that a replacement, similar, lamp is at least £200.00.
As this is the third Daylight Coy. product to expire in a non-repairable condition I am loathe to put more money in their coffers. What workbench lights do others use?
In passing, my Good Lady thinks that she spotted a rather tasty lamp in our travels recently, probably in the workshop of another modeller, maybe someone who is a WTer. Anyone any ideas?
thank you, Graham
