 Works as advertized November 16, 2007

I use these modules with my house alarm. I don't have to enter a dark house and it lights up the rooms on alarm activation.
Lamp Control module works like a charm June 25, 2008
Louis J. Levy MD (La Jolla, CA)
I've had x-10 controllers for years and recently needed some new one's. Took a chance the the new models would work with my old control unit and be compatable with the other modules. The new lamp control modules are not only compatable with my old equipment, they actually work even better than the old ones
Works with all X10 systems. June 21, 2009
Harmless Gryphon (Nowhere worth mentioning)
This is a standard Triac-controlled X10 lamp module for incandescent lamps. It works with almost any X10 system, including those sold by Sears and Radio Shack.
These work with compact flourescents, but I've never had one that didn't cause flickers in the bulb while the unit was off. As a note, they really aren't designed for flourescent use. They also have a tendancy to turn themselves on when power flickers, but that's the nature of the beast.
(Edited because I'm a gud spellar.)
You gotta have it. January 31, 2010

I've been using these dimmers for years. They used to be available at that RADIO store, but no more. My remote gave out..after about 12 years, so I just bought another one here on Amazon. One of the best ways to decorate and create a mood is using a dimmer on EVERY light..then just tune up the room before guests arrive. If you want to use the dimmer on the new energy-saving bulbs, make sure the bulb has "may be used with dimmers" written on its base. My advice: Install these, set the mood, put on the music, pour the champagne and your special guest will think you actually know what you're doing.

I've used these throughout the house, and I particularly like the dimming feature. It's great to be able to turn off everything with one click too.
Two cautions. These don't seem to work well with most CFL's, which aren't dim-able and don't seem to like whatever the module does to the AC power even if you don't dim. They also don't work well with my Christmas Candle lights, probably due to the embedded electronics that turn the Candles off automatically interacting with the Lamp Module's electronics. I have to walk around the house, power cycling most of the candles to make them light. Turning everything off does work, though.
I've been able to use the X10 Appliance Module with both the CFL's and the Christmas Candles, but of course you lose the dimming feature for anything else attached to them.
Otherwise, Great Product at bargain price.
