Describe how an X-10 socket module is used.

What will be an ideal response?


An X-10 socket module allows any standard light socket to be converted into a controlled light. The socket module screws into the regular socket ant the light bulb screws into the module. The light can then be controlled by commands sent on the AC wiring. This solution is an alternative to using a controlled wall switch. It is useful for controlling lights that do not have remote switches but are turned on and off only by pull string switches in the light fixture itself.
