mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 I don't know what kind of "power supply" your light takes, but Radio Shack and other stores like, have good selections of power adapters. If you take yours in, they should be able to find you a replacement. Oh, and welcome to the site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whatfly 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Pretty sure it is just a generic12 volt AC/DC adapter. You should be able to check the label of the adapter for specs in volts and amps, and then just do google a replacement. Otherwise, if you take it down to an electronics supply story like Radio Shack, they should be able to provide a replacement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randi 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 Thanks all I would look at the label except all the writing is worn off I have had this light since high school I saw a reply that said 12 volt? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randi 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 Would any of you guys know the amperage of the power supply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene L 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 Mine is 7.5 watts, 1.6 amps. Which is more than enough amps to electrocute you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2016 Mine is 7.5 watts, 1.6 amps. Which is more than enough amps to electrocute you. According to Watts Law ... watts/amps=volts ... so 7.5/1.6 = 4.7 volts. It takes about 40 volts to push amperage through the resistance of the human body. So, there's not enough voltage to push the amperage through your body ... it can't electrocute you.

There was a thread on FTF in 2010 on the power supply for a McKenzie Vise Light in 2010. Runarsson found the power supply is 12V and 1.5 amp. Orange Caddis posted the model # of the power supply and the mfg website. I'm sure you can find one online, if you don't have one lying around. Maybe one of us have one in our hoards of power bricks for long forgotten electronic gizmos. Posted 29 December 2010 - 07:53 PM ...The model number of the adapter for the small light is SW-1215W, and the specs can be confirmed at the manufacturers site (http://www.phcenterp...om/adaptor.html)...
