i would mount board properly into box and get rid of bubble rap, also make sure wires do not get squashed by lid or use a bigger box or route cables properly. i have also had issues with controllers outside but not LOR ones DMX, and problems with channels blowing, my findings have been, rope light bulbs failing and drawing excessive current taking out triacs, water ingress into light fittings or connections again causing major current draw. squirrel eating cables but he didnt survive so that sorted. things i have done to stop issues, i installed fuses on all outputs to lights with fuse ratings set to the correct size for lights this has stopped problems with overloading or faults on lights damaging controller. small cctv camera heaters in some of the larger metal controller boxes and damp removal devices in smaller boxes this stops condensation within controllers and has proved to be great improvement. cold and damp does cause intermittent faults especially with the network side.
