You do realise they have 4 pins, don&#39;t you?<br />I know you can program LC2 to be on/off instead of dimming, in which case they can be&nbsp;used with flourescent lights,&nbsp;but I don&#39;t think LC1 has the same ability.<br />Just been and checked. The wording in the manual says &quot;The LC 1 is designed <em>exclusively </em>for the connection of <em>incandescant lamps. </em>Their italics.<br />Have you checked where you can get a 4 pin lamp socket?</p><p><strong><em>Andy T.</em></strong></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/25282.aspxSun, 24 Jun 2007 13:09:04 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:25282mobeyone0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/25282.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=25282<p><BLOCKQUOTE><div><img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"> <strong>frog:</strong></div><div>They can, but you have to set up the LC2s to switch on and off without fading.</div></BLOCKQUOTE></p><p>This is what &quot;confuses me <img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" /></p><p>I am with Craig in that the site confirms that you can use the bulb with a dimmer switch?
