Ron Amedee Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I got all my Pro Grade LED's from Paul @ CDI.

Ron Amedee Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Darn !! I knew this would come up !!!A "Snubber" is a resister used to draw off some current on Cheap half wave Led's they will flicker when dimmed. I have used 4.7K 1/2 watt resisters and it works pretty good.Enough about that on this tread Though..Highjack terminated:shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But be careful about drinking too much of that "pro grade" Kool-Aid though. IMHO that term is used mostly to justify why you should feel happy to pay more for a particular brand of lights thsn what you can buy elsewhere. I've got lights that I bought from a supermarket, of all places, that are every bit as well made as any I've gotten from Paul, and to-date they have a 0% failure rate - something I can't say about LEDs from CDI. Just sayin'...The need for terminators (snubbers) isn't related to whether the lights are full or half wave. (In my experience, half-wave lights actually dim better.) It's more related to how many lights you have on a channel. Check for yourself - string together three or four sets of 100 ct LEDs and see how smoothly they fade.

Ron Amedee Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Perhaps we should start a Snubber "Terminator" thread for the people who haven't read the older post...I have read 4 months of snubber post there are hundreds of variations out there.

Just about every thread I've ever seen on snubbers has had the same information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
