Re: Electrical rewiring for X10

["Alan Cockerton" <alancc@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

Only the sockets are wired in a ring main, the lighting circuits in a
conventional house are wired as a radial from the consumer unit.
Your electrician should have no trouble picking up the X10 concept and
installing the equipment.
I used MEM consumer units on my installation, lots of space inside, try to
leave a space around the LD10s to allow the air to flow. The trips can sit
on the din rail or in a separate unit, I used this as an opportunity to put
in more trips than the normal one up one down, when one trips it doesn't
put
whole ground floor off.
