The only time I have had problems with
LW10's is when I had them connected to Halogen lights. The LW10 would work fine for a few
days then
the fuse would blow. Like most people I have had no real reliability
problems
with them.

Subject: [ukha_d] LW10G has
blown
up
My home automation didn't start
well. I replaced, for a start, two wall switches with dimmers LW10G from
Laser,
one in bedroom and the other in living room. I also have TM13U and HR10 for
remote controling via RF. Everything worked fine for a while, but a couple
of
days ago, something sparked indide dimmer when I tried to switch the light
in bedroom.
I checked, and the fuse was blown. Then I bought a new fuses, but as soon
as I
replaced it, the circuit fuse went off. I took the LW10 out and I found big
black smelly patch on the CCB and, what looks to me like some transistor
melted. It is not a nice experience when fuse blows under your
fingers.
Unfortunatelly, my SWMBO was
present
when it happened and now she is afraid using her bedside lamp in fear that
it
will explode (I plugged it into Lamp Module).
I hope that Li will replace it
without problems, but I would like to know why it happened. Few people told
me
on this group that they are using lots of LW10s and that they are very
reliable, but I have just two, and one blew up after two weeks.
I plan to order few more, but I
would like to know what I'm putting myself into. I cannot afford many more
incidents like this, because SWMBO's current attitude regarding home
automation
is not very positive at the moment.
I have UPS installed in my node
0. I
noticed that 50% of the time (maybe even more), it cuts voltage, so voltage
must be higher than normal. I don't know if that can be
related.
