Here is the edited release from Lenz

We are pleased to announce the release of the LE1024 series of 1 Amp back emf decoders.

The LE1024 series decoders are the ultra-thin cousins of our popular LE130 back emf decoder line, which include 4 functions, special lighting effects and the smoothest motor control of any decoder on the market.

The LE1024W has wires attached to the decoder while the LE1024MP has a NMRA medium plug.

We had two goals with this decoder.

1st we wanted an exceptional decoder from an operations perspective. The LE1024 Line has the identical features as the LE130XF (LE1025) decoder but it is ever so thin (Like the LE103XF) . And if you have not tried one of our new back emf line of decoders you will be amazed by the exceptional smooth performance.

2nd we wanted to bring the price down for back emf decoders. And this we have done!!! Just a few months ago we were selling the LE130 decoder for $49.95. The LE1024 is a much better decoder from every perspective.

The initial MSRP for the LE1024W (wires) will be $33.95
The initial MSRP for the LE1024MP (NMRA 8 pin plug) will be $35.95

We will try our best to maintain this MSRP in the coming months.

Along with the fantastic new price for the LE1024 line of decoders comes an equally great price reduction for the LE130XF line of decoders:

New pricing effectively immediately

LE1025-JST (LE130XF-JST) MSRP $31.95
LE1025-WH (LE130XF-WH) MSRP $33.95
LE1025-MP (LE130XF-MP) MSRP $36.95

Just a note that our 4 amp back emf decoder (LE4024) is also now in stock. (same code set as the LE1024 and LE1025 decoders. We are now shipping the version 5.4 code set for the LE0521W (LE010XF) and 0521D (LE011XF). This code set is identical to all our other back emf decoders so now you get the special lighting effects and the 12 bit resolution back emf in our micro decoders as well.

And best of all WE HAVE THEM IN STOCK!
