But you're using CFL compatible (flourescent) X-10 components. If not,
you'll see early burnouts of either the CFL and/or the X-10 device.
Questions like this deserve full answers IMO. X-10 makes that information
very clear if you read their instructions on the various products or their
wiki.


What makes them compatible? Mine are 25 years old and work with CFL. The
CFL was not invented when mine were built.
