The bulb is a halogen car bulb. Take it to your local auto parts store like Canadian Tire.

Question edited for clarity.

Not 'our site', we are FIXYA, we aren't Vector. We just have a Vector Category for handy filing.

As long as the voltage is right, it will be fine. My more milliamp hours in the battery specs, the longer the lamp will stay bright.

Batteries Plus is a great website, or in Canada Battery Buyer

Replace the chargers as I said in my last post.

By now the warranty is expired

jwgbounder,
despite the relatively recent acquisition,
apparently Black & Decker no longer services Vector products either.
They sold their Vector line to Baccus Global LLC as of about August 2010
(see http://support.blackanddecker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5771 ).

I have the same lamp you do, and here's how I recently replaced my battery.
Replacement source for Vector Spot battery "SEL DMU6-6":
the Tempest TR6-6 at BatterySpec
@http://www.batteryspec.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi?action=link&product=313 .
(I suggest avoiding their TR6-6A for Vectors Spotlights: it's a little bigger, and may not fit.
Also, BatterySpec suggests the Tempest 5-6A as an equivalent for the original "SEL DMU 6-6";
that's only equivalent if5ah=6ah. Caveat Emptor).
You can see the actual specs on this product at (the manufacturer)
Tempest's web site: http://www.tempestbatteries.com/html/tr6-6.html.
This seems to be a virtually identical battery as Vector's original "SEL DMU 6-6" in every way but one.
Vector's battery had one F1 (.187"wide) terminal,
and one F2 (.250" wide) terminal.
On the BatterySpec's Tempest, both terminals are F1.
This was no problem: the Vector lamp's leads snap snug and secure over both terminals.
I paid $10.90, plus $10.13 shipping, ordered on Saturday morning 10/23,
got a shipping confirmation from their San Jose CA warehouse Monday evening 10/25,
and received it in Virginia on Monday morning 11/1/2010.

11/5 update: battery charged, and the lamp works great.

Baccus just bought Vector from Black & Decker (Sept. 2010)
Looks like flashlight model # VEC 139BW but a different color. (Mine is White w/blue trim.) There is a battery in the top & one in the bottom, replace them at the same time. If I can find several battery stores in Buffalo you should be able to find a local battery store there.
Baccus- 877-571-2391 for main beam, area light no longer available. Try to find local distributor & save shipping charges.

The rechargable battery is dead, it has just enough juice to light the LED but nothing else. You can order a replacement battery from www.dewaltservicenet.com All Vector Products, Service and Parts are sold by Black and Decker which purchased Vector in 2006. The products are rebranded under the Black and decker name now.

Most likly the battery is old and will not keep a charge. I just replaced my battery for about $50 a few weeks ago. Go to a story like Battery + for a replacement. It worked for me.

The replacement battery for this vector spotlight can be found here: http://batteryinternational.com/vector-sport-spot-138by-spotlight-batteries-vector-f1.html

Hope that helps.

It is the battery, I have a similiar Vector light for a few years and tried re-charging the battery but only the little LED light would come on. I have another Vector light, same model and switched batteries from the worjking one to the non-working one and now it works fine.

I then proceeded to purchase a new battery for the non'working one and when I arrived home I installed it and turned on the main light, still won't turn on, I tried the LED's, they work. I figured maybe the new battery needs a good charge so I plugged the charger in and charged the light for 12 hours, still no main light.

I guess the new battery is defective, so now I will return it and exchange it for another one.
