X10 lamp modules



Whilst X10 modules are in season: I've put a lamp module to the
strenuous task of running a 60W lamp. Last week the bulb blew (in quite
a big way) which took out the 2amp fuse in the module. I replaced the
bulb and the fuse (with one borrowed from a spare module) and all was
fine. The bulb has blown again this week, and blown the fuse again.

My question is - I can accept that twice is perhaps a coincidence (we
have a collection of second hand bulbs) but is it usual for module fuse
to blow? Can you swap the fuse for a slower blowing type, or does it
blow so easily for a good reason? Just strikes me as a nuisance,
especially if the fuse is in an LD10 buried in the ceiling...

Ray Barnett.
