If you're reading this, you must know what I'm talking about... (The one with the red and orange dots on it....

Cheers... !

Wish I could remember. I posted a similar question a couple of years ago. I was wanting to replace one that had a broken core. In my post I was wondering if having a piece of the core being broken off would have much effect on output. Was also asking where I might get a replacement. I ended up getting a replacement from Dat2Zip IRCC. I believe the original BadBoy circuit is very similar to the circuit found in the arc LS lights. Hope this helps.

cheers,

red = 2
orange = 3

Looks like it may be a coilcraft.

My old notes say it's likely a 3.3uH Coilcraft.

Are these good, and where can these be ordered in small quantities ?


BTW, thanks guys !!

I think Louie is right. I don't remember if Coilcraft has a selection process on their website. There is a universal color and multiplier for each inductor. Sorry Bombel, I have left a few LS lights stock due to collectors value. I've had the rest replaced with locally produced PCB's. Those darn boards are not cheap to improve or closely replicate in small quantities. No one would recreate the works exactly due to possible legal infringement. If you take a close up pic and send it to Coilcraft , the support staff can give you a value and part number.
