Ok I finaly finnished playing with this program for my X-10, and I think I have it set right to simulate a moon rise/set so I went to HD today and picked up a outdoor light socket.

this is it mounted

the bulb is a 25 watt blue GE party light I found at zellers and it puts out a pretty errie light.. I will take some pics after it is dark tonight.. looks pretty cool.
