Ralph Priest Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 My original Gen.1 LOR controller has had problems at least twice with a stuck triac. So, this year I want to avoid those problems with snubbers; while I understand the concept, I am wondering what is the easiest way to use them. The old controller runs a 16 ch. mega tree, all LEDs. many thanks in advance for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hans Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'm 100% LED and I put snubbers on the end of run of lights I put up. Generally, I only notice the need for snubbers when I get up into the 600 or so light count on a channel but I use them on every one just because. I made the snubbers that are detailed in many places on the forums here and i simply plug them into the female plug at the end of the line. No fading problems at all!

scubado Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I use snubbers as well, but it won't do anything for your sticking triac unless your only problem is fading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenbom Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I put them on the under side of the control board for neatness. file:///Users/mikelenbom/Desktop/IMG_0459.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
