This applies to all X10, in order to pick up the X10 signal there has to be
a small leakage even when the device is off. Dont stick your fingers in the
lamp holder !

This also applies to homebuilt dimmers using triac's to be safe you really
need a traditional relay in series to remove the risk, but this adds cost.
