I want to add a remote function for a lamp, but all the products that
I have seen (X-10, etc) specifically say for incandescent lights
only. I know they say this because flourescent bulbs won't work.
However, LED bulbs have just recently been available, probably before
these remotes were designed. I can understand why the X-10 requires
the fillament in the bulb, but what about this product?

Anyone know of a remote that just operates a wall switch regardless of
what is plugged in?

You should be able to use an X-10 appliance module. It doesn't require any
particular load, and performs only a simple off/on function.

Incorrect. It passes a small current through the load, and turns
itself on when the load changes a certain way. This can be really
annoying when some devices (including CFLs) refuse to stay off.

An X10 OUTLET module may avoid these problems.
