Re: X10 controlling a bank of 4 switches

["Richard Parker" <mr.richard.parker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Sorry, don't think I was clear enough!

By 4 separate circuits, I meant that there are 4 switches - to control 4
separate lights. These all come back to the same breaker on the circuit
board. In my other rooms this isn't a problem, because there's only one
light in each - so I have used the standard X10 wall dimmer (they are not
low voltage halogens so the dimmer works nice). The front room is a
different kettle of fish.

Economical: cheap!!!
