X10 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) 2. Why does my Wall Switch Module turn on but not off? The wall switch module is wired in series with the light bulb, this means that the powerline signals have to pass through the filament of the bulb in order to complete the circuit. The reason you can get the wall switch module to turn on but not off is because the X10 signal has to pass through the lamp, and a hot lamp has a higher resistance than a cold lamp, therefore it takes a slightly higher amplitude of signal to turn a wall switch off than it takes to turn it on. If however you have a big enough signal, you would not notice the difference. See "Phase Problem above." Also, certain types of bulbs can act as a block to the X10 signal. The following types of bulbs should NOT be used with Wall Switch Module:
