Bulb Contact Meltdown Caused by LM465 Lamp Module?

[Roger <crosseyedpenguin@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have been having repeated failures of a lamp controlled by a X10
Powerhouse LM465 Lamp Module.  Over the past several years I have
replaced the socket on the lamp at least twice.  Today I replaced a bulb
that had been in use for over a year and found the contact on the base
of the bulb was disfigured as if it had been soft or even melted at one
time or another.  This is a repeat of a problem I had a few years ago
and why I have replaced the socket.

The bulb was a 50-200-250 three way bulb and that is what is commonly
used in the lamp.  Is it possible the LM465 is contributing to this
problem even though I am below the 300 watt maximum or is there some
other explanation as to why I am seeing this problem more than once in
this particular lamp?

The bulb I replaced today was a GE.  I don't remember what brands I have
used in the past.
