FrankAZ 0 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I've got one bad triac on a controller from last year - haven't gotten around to replacing it yet but will note the details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toozie21 15 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I had one go bad last year, but I haven't seen anything this year. I will keep an eye on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indytycoon 0 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I have a bad one that I'm replacing this weekend. I'll let you know. It was most likely from that group buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toozie21 15 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I am noticing some inconsistencies with my snowfight wireframe this year (3rd season). Out of curiosity: 1) When the triacs are going bad, are they 100% bad, or will they sometimes work and sometimes not work? One segment is starting bright, then going dim a 1/2 second later, that is most defintely a triac issue in my mind, but the ones that work sometimes and not others seem a little bit more odd to me. 2)When was this group buy? I did participate in one, but it was a couple of years ago, it wasn't real recent. ~Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FrankAZ 0 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Finally replaced mine - BTA07-700T gk067 vu chn 921 I about about 75% sure that this one is my fault though. (I think this was the channel that had the 150watt floods on it - and that had the flood holder melt.) I have one other controller with channels 12 and 24 out - but - not 100% sure thats the controller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
