I just want to know where I am going wrong and why it isn't working. any help would be great!

I used imgur because it wouldn't let me upload the images.

You need to wrap the actual name of the networked peripheral, not the side the modem is on. It should have told you the name of the peripheral when you right-clicked to activate the modem attached to the Illuminator. If it didn't tell you a network name, you probably don't have OpenPeripheral installed, as it adds the peripheral interface for the Illuminators.

how can/do I use the name of the peripheral once I have found it?

p = peripheral.wrap("cofh_thermalexpansion_lamp_0")

when you enable the modem it tells you the name of the peripheral. just copy/paste that :D/>
