Re: Strange problem with X10 wall switch

["Jeff Volp" <JeffVolp@xxxxxxx>]

I recommend you install a Leviton 6287 Noise Block in the switch wallbox
wired between the switch and the lights.  If it doesn't fit there, you can
probably fit it in the junction box for the first fixture in the string.  We
installed those filters for all circuits that accept compact fluorescents,
and have no problems at all.
