You may be better with an applicance module (relay) for these - if the
wattage is low - I had to do this with one of those 'pygmy' bulbs I was
using as a night light - it wouldnt switch on a lamp dimmer module.  If
it were me I'd try it and see on the LW10 first  though - I wouldn't
expect it to damage it but no guarantee !
