A great product, inductive coupled charged torch with nighttime motion detector. Purchased from Bunnings 6 months ago for $20, stopped charging. The base has a burnt smell coming from it.
Opened the base and found that the 224 / 400V polyester capacitor had ruptured and a resistor was burned beyond recognition. Fuse was O.K.
It was very hard to find a product website for the Click Brand. A search on IP Australia disclosed that the trademark owner is Bunnings...
Alot of other are having similar issues with the CLKRT200 and CLKRT100. Fuses blowing.... Poor design....
Lucky this did not catch on fire.
There is no real fix for this crap except to disable the inductive part altogether and power the thing of a external 5V AC or DC plugpack modded with a plugin connector.

I bought the same product and it only lasted 3-4 months and didn't recharge, just rubbish! I wonder if there is any fire risk with this product?
ReplyDeleteThis is a good idea but now I have 4 torches without a charger. The fuses blow at the drop od a hat replacing with stronger fuse (not recommended) and the capacitor burns out. Clearly the chargers are not up to the job required. Bunnings are no help as a replacement charger is not available. Very diapointing product that has much promise particularly as emergency lighting but not robust enough to do the job.
