Re: [OT] x10 modifying from 110 to 240v, how successful is this?

You can mod them, it's not that difficult. Bear in mind though the
timing will be set for 60Hz and so any any dim setting will be out by
20%. This is most noticable when you fade to off. The light fades to
about 20% then suddenly goes off...the same thing happens in reverse
if you soft start the unit.

I imported some LampLinc units and modded them, I thought I'd got
away with the duty, then 2 months later Fedex asked for money:(
