Several units were manufactured using a power supply that contains a 1 amp fuse where a 5 amp fuse is required. When the unit's power supply draws more that 1A, the fuse will fail causing the light to cease operating. The problem can occur anytime: from the initial turning on (powering up), to anytime during use.
