I have Motomaster Eliminator 2M Series Spotlight/Lantern Combo. The spot light switch quite and I would like to fix it.

Here's what you can do:
  1. Check Warranty: If your spotlight is still under warranty, you might be able to get a replacement switch or have the entire unit repaired or replaced by the manufacturer. Check the warranty information that came with your spotlight for details on how to proceed.
  2. Contact Customer Support: Get in touch with the customer support department of the manufacturer or the retailer where you purchased the spotlight. They may be able to provide guidance on obtaining a replacement switch or offer repair services.
  3. Search for Replacement Parts: Look online for retailers or websites that specialize in selling replacement parts for spotlights and lanterns. You might be able to find the specific switch you need for your model.
  4. Consider DIY Repair: If you're comfortable with it, you could try opening up the spotlight and examining the switch yourself. Sometimes, switches can be repaired or cleaned to restore functionality. However, this approach requires some technical skill and might void any remaining warranty.
  5. Seek Professional Help: If you're not confident in your ability to repair the switch yourself, consider taking the spotlight to a professional repair technician. They can diagnose the issue and either repair the existing switch or install a replacement for you.
Remember to prioritize your safety when attempting any DIY repairs, especially when working with electrical devices. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with any aspect of the repair process, it's best to seek professional assistance.

Why wont the spot lights for vec 192 charge ?

Boy, this one is a loaded question.

Could be the charger itself that's defective.

Having a current monitor (Kill A Watt P3), comes in handy to check to see if the wall transformer / charger is drawing any current. That would determine if the charger was working to some degree. The best way is to measure the voltage coming out of the charger itself. It should be low voltage. I would use an digital auto multimeter to check the voltage. The transformer should have written on it somewhere the type of voltage (DC-direct current/AC-alternate current). Be careful not to shorted the end connector as I could damage it.

Could be the cord of the charger that is bad.

Could be the batteries themselves that are bad.

Could be the flashlight internal parts are bad.

Why wont my black and decker ultra bright spotlight stay on for more then 10 minutes ?

The batteries are probably no good or your charger is bad. But I say the batteries themselves are bad. All batteries will only last so long. And it also depends how often they are keep charged and discharged. Basically all batteries require some kind of maintenance (recharging / discharging).

I have Illumibeam Lantern, Crank Up. It has a plug in the wall don't know how it work. I plug it in, no lights no nothing.

This one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/335145703247 They are a bit of a gimmick, and of course are made for $2 in China. The way they work is that they contain a small rechargeable NiMH battery. You can charge it via the wall adapter, or you can turn the crank which operates a small generator to charge the battery. It is likely that you can't run it directly from the mains, but it should light when you remove the charging cable and switch it on. ..
