I loved it, and I would have bought another one but they are made in batches - and my wait time was around 5 months, which would have meant November wrenching.

Even on the slow start it would chug power, dimming the lights and causing an idle surge even though the controller was enabling the low speed only. I don't recall the exact numbers, but it was high. Since then fan only came on at traffic lights I eventually set up a manual override, which allowed me to kill the 12v signal to the controller if the light was about to change and throw the high side on as soon as I got moving.
