Ugh, I got that horribly wrong didn't I? I should have said 1400 triplers fit in 1500s but not vice versa. The 1400 type fits horizontally in both 1400 and 1500 models. The 1500 one fits vertically, downwards in the 1500 and upwards in the 1400.

Think my confusion stemed from fitting a sealed tray labelled, "1500 large screen" to a 1400 that did fit horizontally to the Lopt, as it would have done on a 1500.

My apologies for this incorrect information.

The results on your set looks excellent, but it's clear you've fitted a vertical fitting 1500 tray.

While, of course, being electrically identical the mounting is a cause for concern. The heat from the PL504 will soon burn through the insulation unfortunately.
