X10 appliance module for LED lamp
« on: November 10, 2011, 03:47:39 PM »

I am trying to get the new X10 appliance module for my LED lamps.
What is the module part number and where can I find the good deals on X10 appliance modules?

The CFL friendly Appliance Modules have the exact same X10 part numbers as the older ones.
I believe the change was a few years ago. So any recent Date Code should be the new design.

What type of LED bulbs?
Some don't draw enough current to go completely out. Even with the new designed ones.

I brought some of the 20W LED lamps, they take 13.5V supply. I took the power supply out from an old network switch, adjust its output to 13V.
I think its light output is about 200W regular lamp.

Thanks for your added information.

Two Pin AM486; X10Pro PAM01.
Three Pin AM466; X10Pro PAM02.

Switching a 13 volt supply On and Off with an appliance module should be fine.
Unless it makes lots of power line noise. Then you maybe able to turn them On but when On the noise may prevent you from turning them back Off.
