I've been using X-10 modules with my Neptunes for about 10 years. I have never had a problem with interference. I had the original Neptune controller from 1998 till about 6 months ago when I purchased a new Jr. With the Jr I was running a Phoenix 14 K bulb and had no issues. This is all on a Coralvue E-ballast. About 2 months ago I switched to a Reeflux 10K and had no issues. This week I purchased a new Phoenix 14K due to color issues, and now with the new Phoenix the light is shutting off 5-10 times a day. Is it possible for a specific bulb to cause more interference than another?

I know the remedy is a DC-4 or DC-8, but I have never had an issue before this Phoenix bulb. The last Phoenix did not cause any issues.

Any ideas?

Thanks
