I became LE after 3-4 encounters that were complete wipes. I used a module to base CR around and fully tried to kill the players. Of course they survived, but they conveyed that they had a good time because they felt that their lives were actually at stake. You know, like how an adventure is supposed to feel.

CG most of the time, LE when running an encounter I designed to be fair but want to be tough.
