Re: RFI filters for X10 interference

["Simon Coates" <ecolume@xxxxxxx>]

Mark,

It may be too late now (if you've thrown away the packaging) but using
wire
wound transformers for low voltage lighting is more 'X10 friendly'.
Electronic lighting transformers kill X10 signals - by injecting
interference onto the mains and the RF and EMC filters in the
transformer
suppressing X10 signals as well.

Not sure about using an X10 filter.  It would obviously depend on how
you
are dimming your LV lighting.  If you're using a LD10/11 etc then it
won't
work.  If you're using a standard dimmer then fitting the filter
before the
dimmer may work.

Regards

Simon

9 dimmable 12volt lighting transformers without thinking of the
