The indoor lamp receiver will even accept dimming commands transmitted by a standard X10 controller.

I'm full time caretaker for my bedridden Mom. This product has empowered her to control numerous lights/appliances at the touch of a button. Anything that reduces reliance on others improves life satisfaction. The fact that it is expandable is excellent for future, unknown needs.

This review is from: Black & Decker FWLR Freewire Lamp Receiver (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought three of these from a B&D outlet store. Nowhere on the product packaging does it state that the unit works ONLY with plain old incandescent light bulbs. No low-energy florescent bulbs, no dimmers, no low-voltage halogen lamps, or anything else that uses a transformer or ballast. It also seems to not work if plugged into a surge suppressor. As a result of these limitations, the only lamps in my house that work with the units are night lights.
