Grand DC system LED problem

[Richard Brekne]

Not wanting to unduly criticize a basically good product... I find that 
LED light failure after a couple 3 years use to be quite common.  I'm 
kind of a minimalist in many regards and have wished for several years 
now a gadget free version of the DC system.  Clear water container... no 
smart bars.. only a humidistat, two heat bars (one for each task, and an 
off and on switch for electronics.  This would be great for University 
grands where the piano tech takes care of watering anyways.  ALTMO.

I've also had 3 humidistat failures, water depth sensor failures, and 
smart bar failures.

    Brad,

    Yes.  Just about a month ago, I ran across a bad light assembly (new  
    style).  The water (amber) light would come on when it felt like it.   
    I was somewhat skeptical at first because when I troubleshot it by  
    yoyoing the probe in and out of the water, the light behaved  
    normally.  But during the course of tuning the piano, the amber light  
    came on three times.  The tank was plenty full.

    Replacing the light assembly seemed to fix it, i.e. no call from the  
    customer since.
