If you want to fit the DIN modules (rather than the lightswitch-replacement
modules), best place would be where the wiring for each light is all
connected together.  This is usually the ceiling rose, (with connections
for Live, Switched Live, Neutral and Earth), but if you don't have ceiling
roses there will be a junction box somewhere doing the same job.

If you can get access to the floor above (or the attic space), you could
fit a DIN rail module in a box there.  Do bear in mind that you might need
to replace fuses in the DIN module, so leave some provision for relatively
easy access!

Nigel (still looking for a round box to replace a standard ceiling rose and
take DIN rail modules :-) )
