Just out of curiosity, in all this ETC v. Leviton/NSI business, where would Lepercon fall on the scale of Great to Garbage? That's what I've got--I run an Every Theatre's Console Express 24/48 to 7 Lepercon 6-dimmer packs mounted (usually) on pipes over the house, near whatever position I need 'em in. I've got single 20-amp circuits run all over the building for them--they have two plugs on them, so three dimmers share a 20-amp circuit, which works great(ish) for me, since I usually run one 500w instrument off each dimmer, and even then, in our space, I have to top 'em out at 80% lest I wash everything out completely, even gelled.
The only problems I've had with 'em are when a lightning strike hit our transformer and zorched a couple packs, sent a transient down the dmx and zorched one universe in our 24/48 board ($150 to fix that--the opto-chip in the board). No loud cooling fans, reasonable dimmer curves. To me, they're okay, but I'd like to know others' experiences with 'em.
