try those you'll probably have to take it with you and they can match it up for you right there in a store. Look on the back of the unit hopefully it's 12v power if so solder the connector on to a pair of wires and hook it up. Be sure to note which terminal inside is positive as you don't want to hook it up backwards.

Does it plug in to the jack to charge? Im guessing you wire the jack up 12v and put the light into it to charge it.

If i'm looking right this is a fishing light, and the "coreless" meaning cordless? one is the one you have right? That particular jack might be hard to find so you may end up replacing the one inside and out.

It "LOOKS" like from the picture one of the large 1/4" headphone plugs but I could be wrong. If you can't find one that will work you should be able to remove the plug and find a plug/jack combo at radio shack that you could replace it with with a little patience and modification


Another option is to just contact zorro at the above address and ask them where you can get one.

Re: sloan zorro blacklight?

not 100% like i said take it with u and see if you cant get it matched up, but this kind of looks like it.

The Socket:

The Connector: (what it looks like is on the back of your light)

Like I said it might not fit but it looks like a standard 1/4" plug similar to a headphone/microphone plug.

Look at the Socket again:

It doesn't come with any wires, or a cord or a wall adapter, for 3.99 you get a pair of these. Unscrew the body and slide it back and you'll have two terminals to solder your positive & negative wires to. You'll have to supply the wire & fuse and some ring terminals to connect it to your battery.
