Be sure all extension cords are disconnected from the AC charger before Spotlight
use. (The Spotlight can be operated while charging using the 12 volt DC method.)
If you suspect the bulb is blown, check the filament. If the filament is coiled and
unbroken, the bulb is not blown. If bulb is blown, replace it.
