Scooterotica

Sorry, I don't think I worded my original comment very well. I've spotted one on ebay and the seller says it's from clearing his parent's house and not sure if it works or not. It's mains supply so I asked the question did the lamp come on when plugged in. He responded that it didn't but that he thought it had to be connected to the HT lead for it to function which makes sense as other wise it would just be a torch!!! Is this right or do you think it just needs a new bulb!!!

I looked at the Draper but like may others they are battery powered. Mains supply is better for me tinkering in the shed!

No issues with the BGM one that I use.

Having said that I've nothing else to compare it against.

That's correct it will not flash until it receives a pulse from the HT circuit, either by an inductive clamp or in-line connection.
