I have had 5 x 105w dimmable electronic transformers each with 100w of
loading running off one LD10/11 and it worked fine ... I do know that
people
say electronic transformers are a no-no for X10 control but I've not had
any
problems so far. I believe that someone posted fairly recently that the big
old wound transformers which everyone assumes are fine don't like being
voltage regulated either but I've never tried them.
