is a roughly 12 watt unit with apprx. 1000 hours rated life. Did it
'fuse', or just wear out?


The 1000 hour life is of course at rated wattage, which is a fairly rare
event when used as a speaker protector. So almost certainly it did what it
was supposed to do and protect the tweeter.


Wow... Can you imagine ordinary listenable program material burning out that
light? The amp must have broken into oscillation or something.


It happens in live sound rigs often enough to be an occasional nuisance. That's
why I keep a stock now.

21W 24V and 55W 24V. Somewhat higher powers than the Bose though !
