Why did you set up a poll for this question?

Basically a lamp module will allow dimming of a lamp and will respond to an "All Lights On" command. The appliance module, on the other hand, is non dimming and is used when dimming is not needed or recommended. It doesn't respond to an "All Lights On" command.
Both respond to an "All Units Off" command.

I removed the poll as it looked like it may have been an error.

Your question was not 100% clear; but I believe you wanted the data on differences between a Lamp Module and a Wireless camera addressable power supply.
Camera power supplies are turned on and off by X10  power line signals.
They work in groups of 4 all with the same House Code and different Unit code. Groups are 1-4; 5-8;9-12 and 13-16. That is if you have a set of 4 cameras. C1 C2 C3 and C4. Turn on C1 and C2 C3 and C4 all turn off so that they do not interfere with each other. If you have more than 4 cameras then there is a camera remote that can do more than 4 and I believe some of the X10 software can also control more than 4 cameras.
