They have 4 LEDs mounted on a small printed circuit board fixed with some silicon rubber to the rear of the reflector so repair should be straight forward. I'll probably upgrade the solar cell at the same time seeing as I have a few and the originals are going misty. |
Hope you'll be posting copious pics and methodology here

Looks about as much use as a chocolate teap... to me.

I've opened it up and yes there's a dud LED, draws a lot of current but don't really light up. Another one had a dry joint. Found I had a white LED in the bitsa box so I've fitted it.
Got to get some fresh clear silicon sealer to put it all back together. Pix taken, I'll write it up when all done.

No that's not quite like the one we bought.

A tube of clear silicon sealant at B & Q to put the rock back together.

Excellent. If you're flying Iceland Air see how much it'll cost to go Saga Class if you aren't already booked on it.
I love that country and the aurora is, in the literal sense of the word, awesome.

We are flying Iceland Air but not Saga Class. It's a package they do - flights, hotel, excursions so there was no option to upgrade. However, economy on Iceland Air sounds so much better than Easyjet so not complaining.

Don't mind at all.
We started with the basic trip from here then added some extras, ending up with three nights flying from Manchester staying at the Hilton for £1034 all in.
Might see you on the plane!
Cheers
