So now - back to the work log.

I can report that my Lamptron FC-2 fan controller .................................................. .................................................. ...... officially SUCKS.

Very disappointing. I like the look of it ... really a nice match to the case. I like the idea of 6 controls with up to 45W loads (maybe that's the problem ... it's built for too much). I like the way the blue LED displays -- not knock your eyes out bright like the Sunbeam.

BUT ... I got the squealing pig syndrome. It's NOT really all that loud, but it makes a whining noise anytime other than when it's at full. So, virtually useless for running fans at mid levels. I will be able to use it, since I run the exhaust and a few other fans at full. But, I am disappointed. Not so much that I paid for it and it doesn't do the job ... but because I like it and wish it didn't make the crazy noise.
