Replacing the two light Triacs on a LCRX board, need help identifying the Triacs to replace.
Thanks for any assistance.

Don't know off-hand for the LCRX, just use an ohmmeter to see which triac has a pin connected to the problem lighting output, that's the one to replace.
Thanks John, that should be easy enough. I had read your tutorial on the forum on how to replace a triac so with that information and an ohm meter I think I am ready .
They're pretty easy to do unless they've gotten really hot and damaged the PCB.
No visual evidence of damage, hopping the triacs met a quick demise when the light wires shorted to ground and didn't have time to heat up, fingers crossed.
Usually the one that might be damaged it the PCB around the smoke triac on the R2LC board, those can get pretty hot before they fail. The little TO-92 lamp and coupler parts normally just die.
