Light fades out?

This isn't specifically about the CMUcam, but about the green light.

We have ours made, and I connect it to a Radioshack Adaptaplug AC Adapter. It puts out 12vdc and 1 amp. When I connect it to the light, the light is bright for about 40 seconds and then starts to fade out. Eventually it gets so low that it might as well be off. If I disconnect the power wires and re-connect, it works fine again and the cycle repeats.

Any idea on what could be causing this?

EDIT: A quick multimeter check shows that my power supply is holding a constant voltage when not connected to the light.
