RE: Halogen Lights and X-10

["Phillip Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

All the ones I've seen are...

...it's just that the bulbs are even more horrendously priced than 12v
ones.

I'd suggest trying one of the cheapie "Massive" branded sets at
HomeBase ...
I got mine for £17 a set of 5 20w lights plus transformer when they were on
special and I bought five sets. They work fine with my DIN rail mounted
LD10s.
