I presume you mean 20W ;-)

There is probably a spec somewhere that gives the minimum current for local
control.  I have 2 25W lamps plugged in, and need to operate both at once
for the module to switch on locally (ie by pulling the plug for the 4-way
extension they are plugged into, then pushing it back again).

It doesn't seem to be of much use, as most things I would want to switch
would probably be under 50W (small lamps and portable stereos).  I guess I
may as well just modify the modules to remove the local control.

Thanks all for the suggestions,

Nigel
