Unplug the light (the fish don't care, BTW). If everthing X10 works, the light is the culprit. If not, you ave another noise source. Keep doing the unplug/test X10 routine until you find the probelem device and plug that into the noise filter.

You may end up buying more filters, depending on how many noise generators you own.

X10 noise filters will filter out most noise, but if the device is particularly noisy, using one filter might not be enough.  Some ideas can be found at Noise Filters - What if One is Not Enough?

I am glad you got things working.  Thanks for the update and for telling us about the Isolation AC Power Supply.

Thanks for that information. The isolation transformer must be specially made; as I use a small one just to protect me when I am doing inside module tests. It still passes X10 signals between the primary and secondary.
