imawlkr2 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Well, I went ahead and bought a kit. I have been soldering for years, just no time right now. Guess I will have to find time. The $50 savings will go into my LED fund for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly just the triacs & spade lugs to solder on. Though I hope the RS-485 chip will still be socketed, unless they make it PLC only, which I just don't see on a 30A controller. They will also have their typical card assembled kits as gen3. The nice thing gen3 adds will be the phantom loads, to allow LED to dim better, and I've read somewhere, higher power triacs, so the card fuses are more likely to protect them from damage.

Arnoldc Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 DonI haven't gotten any of that info. I was worried I made a mistake with the pay pal info. Now I'm glad I'm not the only one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Don, I was in Long Beach (JFK) when I ordered them, abt 12:20am EST, got the shipped notice at 9:28am EST.. 9hrs later.. These are the you-build kits, not partially assembled or even the complete $155 kit, just the boards. Lots of these in stock (well, at least two).. I'm guessing the less they are assembled, the quicker they ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 My order was the board kit, same as yours.Very possible by 4 AM when i ordered, Dan was already flooded with orders.I'm not concerned...I'm sure they'll ship soon enough.

testraub Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Since the CTB16PC's went on sale, I sent Dan a PM asking if the CTB16K kit would be on sale later. Heres what I got...Hello,The 16k will not be on sale. Most likely it will be discontinued.Best regards,DanLight O Rama, Inc._____Original Message_____From: testraubDate: 2011-09-14 06:16:44Subject: Sale questionI see the CTB16PC is currently on sale.

cparsons2391 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi, this is my first time to write in this forum. I just had a question, I am not sure if anyone knows, but is the CTB16PC-assembled card going to be on sale or will it just be the kits that need to be soldered?

shfr26 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 That my friend, is the $64,000.00 question. Not only "if" but also "when". My opinion is the PC's will be the next to go on sale, but you know what they same about opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

testraub Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Yeah The only reason I asked is I know the 16K kit and already have enclosures for the 3 more I wanted to get. I guess I can mount the 16PC in them instead, since their already painted and numbered Tom Straub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
