Re: x10 basics--noob question

["brobin" <nospam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Need a bit more info please. Do I have this right? You have a light above
the sink that works now using a pull chain from the light fixture. So there
is power to the fixture. Is there a switch for that fixture already in place
but broken or no switch for the fixture anywhere, except for the pull chain?
 If there's no wall switch now then you could use the following 3 items to
do what you want to do. These are all from www.x10.com:
 http://www.x10.com/automation/lm15a_s.html  This goes in the fixture. Screw
it into the bulb socket and scre the bulb into it.
 http://www.x10.com/automation/ss13a_s.html  This switch simply sticks on
the wall and can controll up to 3 lights with Dimming control.
 http://www.x10.com/automation/tm751_s.html  This plugs into any convenient
outlet and relays the signal from the switch to the fixture module.
