LED Bulbs that work well with X10

I can say that for 100% certainty that Osram Dimmable LED bulbs DO not work with the X10 in wall modules like the LMM21 LMM22 two wire modules.

Even when off, it is not that they give a slight glow, they virtually do not change their brightness at all.
These are labelled
LED SUPERSTAR Classic A75 Dimmable

Managed to find a stock of standard incandescent bulbs, so ended up buying 30 of them to keep me going for a bit!

LMM21 LMM22.
Micro Modules.
We don't have here in the US.

I found their manuals on line.
They looked like they get power through the load it is controlling.
Causing LED bulbs to glow or constantly stay at a level.
Good old fashioned incandescent bulbs are at least a fix for now. Sometimes just one with LED bulbs may work.

Yes, correct...I wonder if the LMM3x series would work..but I can't get one...they have a neutral line to run them, three wire modules. 

I see the inside of the LMM21 has the pad for the neutral terminal..hmm ..wonder if there is other components missing too, or if I can just, solder a wire there and try running as a three wire..no harm in trying i suppose.
LMM22 is just the same but a two load module

I have converted all of my 48 inch fluorescent lamps over to the Toggled brand direct wire led lamps (no ballast).  They work fine with X-10 lamp and appliance modules and are dimmable. They use 16 watts, don’t require a ballast, and don’t produce any powerline noise that effects X-10. These are probably not something that many people would automate with X-10 but they do work. I have 40 of them in my workshop
