I have often heard the conventional wisdom that one should not use an X10 dimmer on a halogen bulb. But I have also read (through this forum), that it can be done if you bypass the halogen's dimmer.

So, is the problem really the dimmer that these halogen floor lamps often have? In other words, can I use an X10 dimmer for a incandescent floor lamp that has a built-in dimmer switch?

Thanks.
