Light switching question
Ok, I'm a dummy. I put 4 ceiling boxes on the same switch, now I want to
control them separately. What are my choices besides: 1.. rewiring 2.. pull chains I considered the x10 stuff, but I don't really see a wire in module that could sit in the top of the light fixtures. I may not have room for the socket rockets. thanks steve barker |

I may not have room for the socket rockets. They do make wire in modules, although I don't have the model number(s) right here. There should be separate modules for incandescent only (dimming) and others. However, X10 can have reliability problems. thanks steve barker -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.laughingsquid.com "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups" |
