| Fluorescent bulbs are replacing incandescent ones. Is there an X10 wall switch or lamp module that will work with fluorescents? Will the old X10 wall switch work with the newer LED type lamps? |

Hello,
Right now you don't have much of a choice then to use non-dimming modules for any CFL or LED lighting. Some higher end CFL's do work with a dimmer switch, however, it seems to be hit or miss with getting it to work with X-10 modules.
While it is not X10, Leviton is taking a step in the right direction with their line of Vizia Z-Wave switches that will work with electronic or magnetic low voltage lighting. I hope that they will have X10 versions of them in the future.

| I think very soon all the ordinary bulbs will be replaced by LEDs and CFL bulbs. :) |
