We have a 12v "Col-light" camping light. Lately it's been acting kinda strange.
We thought it was the switch so just connected the wires directly. When it is connected to a power source it doesn't come on. But as soon as someone waves a hand near one end (the opposite end that the cord comes out of) it does. This only works from about half way along the fluoro - wave the hand anywhere near it (an inch or so away) and it comes on. This is without physically touching it.
Unplug it and plug it back in and the same thing happens.
Can't turn it off by waving the hand near it though.
Tried different cars and same result. As I said - strange. Just like something that David Copperfield does!
No, the Moose hasn't been nibbling on happy weed:-)
Can't wait to find out what is going on.
Thanks from the Moose
