Crown Walkie

I have a Crown PE 4000-60 walkie and there are 2 working lights on the posts. The problem is when I put the new bulb on the light stays on for one second and then they both burn out. I have 24V DC right at the bulb and there is a fuse for the 2 lights and a fan but the fuse is not blowing and the fan works just fine. There is a relay which controls these 2 functions but if it was a bad relay then the fan wouldn't work either, so I think and I could be wrong. Any suggestions would be great.

I manage a large fleet of forklifts and after years of battling lighting issues, with the cost of bulbs, and labor to troubleshoot and repair lighting I finally replaced all my lighting with LED. By going with LED has really put me out of the lighting and light bulb business. We repaced lighting as they failed and ordered new equipment with factory LED lighting by doing it this way eased the cost some by spreading it out over a period of time. Know that we have 100% LED including strobes and mni light bars our down time for lighting issues is almost 0%.

Then if all is wired properly I would suggest checking the bulb's socket for a short. If it is ok, do the "belt & suspenders" routine - double check the wiring.

Well I got the bulb off of another walkie which is the exact same system and it was working fine on the other one. I did "rewire" it because all the wires were smashed and was sure to follow where they went before.

Start by verifying that the bulb is rated for 24 volts & not 12 volts.
