I'm using the Ray Allen LED trim indicators but they quit working  

after a few hours of flying. I could get them to work temporarily by  

thumping them, but now they rarely work. Have others had this problem  

and did you ever get them to work reliably?

Yeah, internally I've found solder joints broken and such.  You should

take a peek inside once.  In the end, I had one that I just couldn't

fix and they sent me a replacement.

I have three in my panel and have replaced them all at least once as individual LED's have failed.



I have one that is doing the same thing that you've mentioned and when I give it a good flick-thump it comes back.



Maybe another bad batch of something.

My annual inspection is due next month so I'm waiting until then and  

I'll take it apart. I thought there might be bad solder joints - you'd  

think they would correct that QC issue by now....

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the tip..  Before installing mine, I'm going to open them up

and take a peek inside.
