RE: X10 - Lighting Dimmer Switch - USA - UK

I'd say don't touch them too!  As someone who has purchased and modified US
X10 kit in the past I would never do that now. Whilst there are plenty of
sites that show you how to do it I always found it a hit or a miss.  It
took
ages to source the components that would fit back inside the case too.

Then there's the more serious side - what if my handiwork went up in
flames.
I used to fear something like that happening and all my US kit (apart from
some RF stuff) has all now been replaced.  I know it's more expensive but
then will you still say it's worth it when your house goes up!  :-)

Hi guys,

This is my first post so be nice :)

I basicly have found some dimmer switches that are perfect for what
i want to do and they are cheap aswell!! - But they are US ones so
im guessing will not work on the uk standard 240v.

My question is, is there any way I can get them to work with 240v??
By changing a component inside them perhaps??

Any help is much appreciated,

Thanks

Chris
