i tried two different X10 brand switches, and an IBM brand switch. all the
switches involved worked perfectly well in other applications around the
house. it's specifically in this parallel low-medium wattage bulb situation
that i'm having trouble.

i've used both an X10 transceiver module and an IBM remote module
(which are roughly comparable devices.) additionally, suspecting
the bridging in my 220V panel, i just had a bridge-amplifier installed,
but while it fixed other problems, it didn't address these particular lamps
(yes, i would just have used a capacitor, but the house is over 3400
square feet, with some longish wiring runs, so the amplifier
and repeater functions seemed like good ideas.)

ok, i just tried this, and it seems to be working for the moment, but we'll
see about the long term -- i now recall that i originally did this some
months back, with temporary positive results, and when the switch
subsequently stopped working properly i presumed that i needed to get
the bridge in to straighten things out. the bridge is in place now, and
most all of the annoying little control problems are fixed, except this one.
we'll see how it works out.
