Hello I  think accidentally had one of my plugs somehow hooked up to 24 volts when I plugged it in my bulbs came on then flickered then went out I have since replaced the bulbs and it dosent work so I was curious if you had any idea what I did or if it can be fixed oh and I had my batteries charging when I plugged it in as well I wouldn't think that would matter though but I am lost any help would be appreciated
Thanks

If you hooked 12v into 24 it's done for, same as plugging a 110 light into 220  ~beer~

Some times you can get lucky and the light it's self will act like a fuse and break the circuit but I'm figuring you burned it up since they flickered and tried.....

Time for a new one.

You could tear it apart and see what burned up  :-* but finding a part to fix it would be tough and probably more expensive than replacing the light.
