Tonight I’m spending some time, fixing the wiring of an LTM Pepper light. The previous owner had some poor wiring.
Here’s the lessons I’ve learned from this light:
1. If the wiring is spliced. It’s not a good idea to leave the splice TOTALLY UNCOVERED next to the splice on wire next to it.
2. If there is a nut holding the wire in the back of the light and only one thread will catch, then HOT GLUE IS NOT THE ANSWER for stress relieving a wire. Put on a new one.
3. If a wire is PRESSED DOWN ON THE FOCUSING MECHANISM, IT WILL WEAR a DANGEROUS HOLE IN THE SHEATH.
Someone could have been hurt with that light and that someone could have been me.
OK, I have that off my chest.
If you work on electrical devices, you’re on your own. Some people really shouldn’t work on them. I take no responsibility for your actions.
