Looks more like "LCX", but that doesn't ring any bells. There are lots
of offshore makers of these things, and I don't see any safety-agency
approval marks on this particular one, so perhaps it's a domestic
China maker. Some of them are not very impressive quality- overheated
molded parts that are brittle is one problem I've seen. Best to spring
for the ones that have at least passed UL/CSA (and verify such
claims).

Alco PRDDA1-16F-BB000 should fit if the springs have enough space to
get in the other way.
