No, not using them with X-10 as they use so little power.  The best
ones I have found are 78LED and 12 SMD LED devices; 12 GU10s light my
study very well.  I use warm LEDS  in all rooms except one where I am
using daylight LEDs.  Also, no failures in 20 GU10 LEDS installed 2
years ago.  We have 116 GU10 LEDS in the house using no more than 3W
each and never more than 33% on at a time.  A significant cost saving.
