I have been experiencing a lot of trouble with my x-10 exterior light switches. I have an older house with two wire switches and I have only been able to use the older x-10 wall switches for incandescent bulls. I had been using a Powerline A10 coupler/ repeater/ amplifier for the past 6 years but it blew after some electrical problems from the power company. I purchased two x-10 coupler repeaters and one died in two days and the other was DOA. I really want get switch to LED light bulbs and get away from x-10 altogether. I do have an insteon hub and five dual band lamp dimmer modules around the house- so I have some repeating of the signals. They all work without the use of bridge or phase coupler. I was wondering if anyone has used the Insteon bulbs in exterior fixtures. I know they are not rated for exterior use but I would consider trying it out. I would not care if the life span was shortened - I just want to get some decent use out of the bulbs. I live in New York and the temperatures can range from zero degrees to 100 degrees within a year. One fixture is open at the bottom and the other is enclosed.
Anyone have experience or information on using the bulbs outside?
