Re: Halogen Lights and X-10

["Mark McCall" <mark@xxxxxxx>]

Yep.

I have main Halogens all over our house.  No X10 problems, no messing about
with transformers.

Only replaced 5 bulbs in 18 months (out of around 70).  They were quite
expensive at the start but the replacements I bought worked out around 3
quid each which isn't too bad.  The price will no doubt come down more as
they become more common.
