Quoted from merccat:Should I upgrade to lighting 2.0?
I have a late ECLE with the last generation 1.x light boards (7.5v?)
Anyway, I have never had a large board go bad on me but I do always seem to be chasing the little single general illumination boards. At this point I do have a couple more that are needing replacement and starting to wonder if its time to bite the bullet on the 2.0?
So I am sure I have the same game scenario as you; an ECLE with the 7.5 buffered boardset , which I am pretty sure was the last (not at home so can't check the build date) boardset before the 2.0 redo. I have had very little problems with mine , and it is always fixed by reseating a light cable.
I have completely thought about doing the 2.0 upgrade, but I keep thinking "well it is a simple fix, why redo everything". If it was on route , sure, completely makes sense.
The 7.5v buffered design "should" be just fine. The issue I am thinking is just a bad crimp on certain cables. I think my next move personally is just to make some new cables for the ones I have to reseat, and see how that holds up.
