Thread: Possible Dicon 1280EI and/or Linfinity 4 bulb invertor

I've gone through hell trying to find a Dicon 1280EI for my Allbrite, many companies practically hung up on me the second they found out I don't want to buy thousands of controllers from them.

Regardless I found a distributor who has been more than helpful with my quest and is currently seeing what she can do.

Knowing how difficult it can be to get ahold of these things I figured i'd try and see who else might be interested in the product, and hopefully get a small discount for all of us.

I beleive this kit comes with a 2 bulb inverter, but I will check on that and get back to you. Also, I am specifically trying to get the Dicon kit that has the nessesary cables for use with a 41 pin Hirose Allbrite (NEC) setup. This kit is also compatible with the LB121S1. While this controller will work with other supported LCDs you may need to obtain a different cable for use with your screen. If you are interested in a dicon 1280ei for a different screen let me know and I'll see what I find out.

Here is the manufactuers description:

I am also looking at getting the Microsemi/Linfinity LXM1643-12-62 This is a 4 bulb inverter that suppors PWM dimming, so you don't have to rig a dimming circuit for it as you did with the inverter that came with many Allbrites. This inverter supports dimming from 2% to 100% load, which is essential for a display as bright as the allbrite.

Here is a spec sheet:

Right now I am just seeing who may be interested in a group buy. I'm trying to get more information on the equipment, price, etc.. If enough people are interested I will setup a group buy.

I'd also like to thank everyone who has helped me out with this quest.
