If you're using AD10 with standard on/off switches can  X10 control the=
fitting when the switch is on?  If so, then I guess if X10 turns it of=
f, then you have to turn the switch off then on to manually get it back=
on again?=20

If you're using AD10's then you can use EITHER momentary OR standard ha=
rd
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 swit=
ches
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 o=
nly
suitable if you have one light switch per box.
