I can't seem to control my X-10 lights and modules due to a new florescent light I got for my aquarium. I had this problem with an earlier one, but I plugged the florescent into a filter module and it worked. This new Florescent lighting doesn't seem to be tamed by the filter. The florescent has a small fan in it for cooling and it makes audible noise. Do you think if I disabled the fan it would help? Do stronger filter exist? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Many filters have a filtered outlet and a pass through outlet. Make sure the light is plugged into the correct one. I would not disable the fan because it causes a potential overheating or even fire hazard.

Can you swap out the light?
