x10 problem?

[StirCrazy]

Ok I checked into it Darren and you are kinda right. but it is not because of a electronic ballast (it is any non incadesent ballast)also not for the reasone we thought.
the problem isn't because the ballasts are noisy but because some ballast alow a trickel of power throught the system which will actavate the local controle inside the X-10 mod and return on the light. (this is why one of my ballast has a problem and the other doesent. there are two fixes for this.. one is to put a little night light with a power adapter into the mod plug with the light you are trying to run (this will use up any trickel voltage and preventit from actavating the local control.
the other option is to cut it open and cut the wire for the local control if you don't need it.
