Re: DIN Rail Boxes

["Mike Huggins" <mikeh@xxxxxxx>]

If you're using AD10's then you can use EITHER momentary OR standard hard
on/off switches. Obviously LD10's must have a momentary otherwise your
light
will brighten/dim/brighten/dim continuously !

I should have added that I think you will need to change your wall switches
to momentary type otherwise X10 will not be able to control the fitting
when
it's turned on by the switch.  Perhaps someone else can confirm this?

Dimensions of LD 10 (in mm) are:

51 width
71 depth (incl 6mm for fuse)
80 height

You will need to allow extra on the height for the cables.  It might be
nice
to leave the fuse sticking out in which case you need a 15mm diam hole and
the depth reduces by 6mm.  You might have to allow space for a junction
strip as well because the
existing wires probably won't be long enough.  Under the floor is a
possiblility but you need easy access to change the fuse which may blow
when
the bulb fails.  If you don't need dimming then the AD10 is smaller (35 X
66
X 80) and doesn't have a fuse.

Another alternative which could be easily removed is the LW10U though only
suitable if you have one light switch per box.

Perhaps the most appealing part is that if we move, it would be easy to
revert the house to 'normal'.  Similarly, when I get a 'round tuit' and
start my own controller prototypes, it would be easy to change.  Normal
ceiling roses are actually surprisingly large, so I don't think a DIN-sized
box would be too unacceptable.  It also has the advantage of keeping the
wiring standard, and the switch drop short (IIRC, Mark had some problems
with long switch drops on an LD10)

The other alternative is to pop up a floorboard above and fit it there, but
I thought I'd try for another box first.

I've used those, actually for ceiling mount speakers in a previous job.
Very neat, very handy, but ISTR there wasn't much room inside.  I haven't
seen any dimensional info for the LD10 parts, anyone got any pointers?

BTW, I should make it clear that my buying some X10 kit doesn't change the
fact that I don't like it as a concept, in case you're all thinking I'm
converted.
