I wanted to use x10 to independently control four 300W Halogen lights on the ceiling of my recently-built barn. I am using gray 3/4" PVC conduit and boxes with wires pulled inside for all wiring in the barn which is unheated thru Vermont winters. I wanted to mount X10 modules right inside each box that the lights mounted on. I looked at using appliance modules, but I would have to make 3 wired connections to the plugs, and find a way to glue or attach the module so that the settings could be changed from outside.
Luckily I found that an X10 SuperSocket module slides nicely right inside the Gray PVC Carlin boxes I am using from Home Depot. Drill two holes, and add a load connection on a plug blade, and you're ready to install. Now I can turn any of the 4 lights on and off from a PalmPad or PowerHome.
