another X-10 question for the electricians out there.

[DEADFISH1]

what I have is a (JBJ PC FORMOSA 36W*4 2 6500K DAYLIGHT/2 7100K BLUE 144 WATTS), the problem is that it has 2 manual switches with 1 ballast, 1 switch for the 7100k's and 1 for the 6500k's, I want to do the Dusk/dawn effect automatically but I cant use plug in timers for the reason that it only has 1 plug to 1 ballast for 4 lights, so what I'm thinking of doing is using 2 of these X-10 Universal Relay Modules and hard wire them directly to the manual switches on the JBJ to get the dusk/dawn effect, does anyone think this will work?

i've never been able to get x-10 and florescent lighting to work together.

I use noise filters between my fluorescent ballasts and the X10 modules. Works great. Just to be safe I also added noise filters between my halide ballasts and the X10 modules. You can buy both hard wired and plug-in noise filters from www.smarthome.com.
