Spotted the Thor 10mcp at Sam\'s Club

Saw the yellow Thor at Sam's tonight. It's the one with the black-tipped dual-filament bulb and two on-off switches.

They had a charged-up unit on display so I fired it up and aimed at the ceiling. And I was dumb enough to look at the dual filaments while they were operating...

yup, I saw that 2 days ago here also.

And yes, I also was looking at the bulb when I turned the display on as I wasn't expecting it to be charged I guess...

But I didn't pick one up... I might have to go back though if I have time.

I just picked up one of these at costco today and noticed there were two on off switches, but the manual doesn't mention them in anyway. Is there a correct way to turn this light on. I know it's a dumb question, kind of, but It seems like the light is being staged somehow.

Re: Spotted the Thor 10mcp at Sam\'s Club

If I recall, when I turned on the leftmost switch (closest to the lens) the dimmer section of the filament came on, and when I turned on the right-hand switch the other section of the bulb lit up with an angry, bluish-white light. What puzzles me is that once the right switch was activated, the left switch didn't seem to do anything when I turned it on or off. Must be some switching logic going on there...?

I received my Thor from Ebay this morning, and I agree, it's frickin bright!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
There are two rocker switches on the left side of the unit: the upper one is high beam, the lower one is low beam.
The unit I received is labelled as "THOR-X", is all black in color, and emits a funny odour.
The odour reminds me of a piece of rubber tire (or tyre) being burnt in a Little Chief upright electric salmon smoker.

Re: Spotted the Thor 10mcp at Sam\'s Club

The low beam switch has both the low and high filaments wired in series to reduce half of the current to the bulb, thats why it's really yellow. You could re-wire it like the bulb is supposed to be used in a car, and the low beam would be brighter and not as yellow.
