[Shop-talk] X-10 help

[John Innis]

I used to have a flourescent light with a cheap electronic ballast
that would cause all sorts of problems for my X-10 system.  I bought a
filter from Smart home and wired it into the fixture.  It solved the
issue for a while, then the crappy ballast finally gave out.  After I
installed a good magnetic ballast, the filter was no longer needed.
