I've used lots and lots of Lambda power supplies, mostly bench
units. They are absolutely top-notch for "spare no expense"
projects. (thank heaven I can get them on the surplus market) I've
never seen one die, so I can't speak to the "odd IC" problem, but as
a frequent user over the years, I have nothing but good things to say
about them.

Hi
The only problem I've had is their " long life " electrolytics.
I've had to replace several of these on their LED readout
supplies. These are used for the low voltage supplies
used for the IC's of the display.
Still, they are the most robust supplies I've worked with.
