testraub Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Okay. After ANOTHER rainy day here in the DC area, I got a chance to un-box and power up one of these sets. Right now, they appear to dim okay. They _MAY_ be 1/2 wave, but i'm color blind and really can't tell. I have them plugged into a controller at 5% power and the are lit and seem to be running steadly. One draw back... They are NOT sealed bulbs, But do appear to come with 3-4 replacements. I'm planning on letting them sit at 5% all night to see if I need to add a snubber.Tom Straub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

testraub Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 You know.... I'm not sure about the 1/2 VS full wave thing. They seem to be doing JUST FINE at 5% power. I'll try and get a pic tonight.Tom Straub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
