Cyclops THOR 18 mil spot light
I remember that light, its a halogen bulbed searchlight with a sealed lead acid battery. Both technologies are obsolete, your battery is likely aged and can be replaced I think its a 17ah and about , $40. For a little more money they make a lifepo4 in the same format. If it were me though Id send it to the dumpster, led powered by lithium now equal its output but fit in your pocket.
Where can I get a CYCLOPS 15m candlepower rechargeable spotlight repaired
Not to many places are around anymore that I know of that fix appliances whether it's a flashlight or whatever, unless you know somebody personally that fixes items on the side as a hobby like myself. Maybe sometimes the company of the product offers a repair or replacement. But sometimes the cost of that process out ways the cost of a new one. That's partially the reason most places don't repair. Back to your question.

Where can I find a replacement 120v ac adaptor
My Thor X 10 million candlepower spotlight takes a standard 12 volt, 1500 mA, center positive AC adaptor. You should be able to find one with an appropriate tip at any Radio Shack store, but you may find a cheaper universal adaptor at a Walmart or even at a "Dollar Plus" kind of store. An adaptor with a lower mA rating will take longer to charge your light, but it should still work (down to about 750-800 mA, I'm guessing).
Double-check the charging port of your Thor light to see whether there's any information about the input voltage requirements. On mine, the light itself has the charging port labeled for 12v, though I was reading the more detailed specifications off the adaptor itself. I can't recall whether the 2.5 million candlepower light also uses 12 volts of power (I think it does), or whether it takes 6 volts (a single battery vs. two batteries wired in series).
Cyclops 6.5 halogen will
This is an easy fix. I just fixed mine literally five minutes ago. You'll need two 6v sealed rechargeable lead acid batteries, duct tape, and a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Take the two Phillips head screws out of the black lens bezel. They should be oriented on the side of the bezel at approx 3 and 9 o'clock. Rotate the bezel about an inch and the bezel should cone off. Disconnect the ground white wire to the reflector housing on the back of the lens. It should be screwed in. Next disconnect the positive wire. It should be red or blue. Mine was red coming from the switch and blue going to the light. Next unscrew the 4 Phillips screws around the white plastic cover that holds the batteries in. You'll see the batteries now. With your phone, take a picture of the wiring. Or make a note of it. Change the old batteries with the new, minding the wiring, and then reassemble. Should be fixed.
Bad blub
These spotlights are, essentially, automotive headlights powered by small batteries. Accordingly, take your old bulb to an auto parts store and match it to one of the headlight bulbs they carry. You'll find many bulbs that look just about right; the key is to find one (or more) that has the exact same base as your bulb so that it'll just plug right into place.
Before buying a new bulb, you can also double-check your old bulb with a simple test for continuity. Properly treated, these bulbs have a reasonably long life, and I wouldn't rule out corrosion in the bulb socket or some other issue that's keeping your bulb from lighting up. Of course, if you can see the torn or burned out bulb filament, it's pretty obvious that you're going to need a replacement.

How do I replace the
Remove the black rubber ring that is on the front. Remove the screws that are on both sides. Gently separate the pieces and pull the reflector forward until it clears the shell. Disconnect the positive and negative wires and then remove the retaining device that holds the bulb in place.
