Ok I am having a strange issue with my 12X and need some help. Here is how it goes:
On my work bench I have a 10 amp radio shack power supply. It will supply enough amps to run the rotator motor and two of the four bulbs on this light bar. If I try to run the motor and all 4 bulbs they will all work for just split second before the power supply trips off due to overdraw on amps. I know that everything works on this lightbar because I have tested all the individual bulbs, bulb holders, and motor on this 10 amp radio shack power supply individually.
Now move over to my display wall. I have a 50 amp astron power supply to run the big stuff. It will only run 1 set of bulbs and the motor. It will not run the right side of the lightbar. The bulb holder on the right side is the one I am having trouble with. The left side of the bar and the motor work just fine until I put a bulb in either the front or the back of the right side bulb holder. I took the bulb holder out and test it with the bulbs in it on the radio shack power supply and it works just fine, but as soon as I re-mount it in the twinsonic and try it on my astron supply, the astron supply shorts itself out. I am puzzled because if it was a short in the bulbs or the bulb holder then it would seem like it would not work on the radio shack supply, but it does.
If I carry the twinsonic outside it will work on my car battery. I just cannot understand why my astron will not work with it.
Any ideas?
