CFLs flicker when Wall Swtich WS467 is OFF
Howdy,
I've been slowlyg trying CFLs in the house to see if they work OK wtih our X10 installation. We've decided that the quality of light is acceptable for the energy $ savings.
But, when I put some (N:Vision from Home Depot) 60W CFLs in the kids' room overehad light, controlled by a WS467, everything was fine until I turned the lights off. They don't go fully off! We get a very low light flicker, probably 5-10 times a second. I triple-checked, the wall switch was not dimming the lights.
Is this a result of the current sense (for local control)? If so, would the standard mode for disabling current sense stop this?
It is doubtful that the kids would sleep well with this annyong flicker, but also likely that it would also damage the CFL electronics eventually.
Thank you for any input. Or for pointing me to a more appropriate group.
Jim
