If you want something more complete, have a look at
http://catalogue.maplin.co.uk
and search for CK23A in the order code=20
section- looks like a sensible solution- costs about =A330, about 1"

and seems to integrate most of what you need for wired control, copes with=

lights from 10W to 600W, and 30A x 10ms surges. It's 0-5V (or 0-1)
instead=

of 0-10, but that's easily modified if you already have a suitable

I've not used one, but the data sheet looks promising=20

it might be worth=

considering (bearing in mind that once you try one and like it, you

probably get them cheaper in quantity elsewhere!)
OTOH, if you have plenty of time on your hands, the hut.fi one will=20
probably be a bit cheaper- I'd guess around =A310 per channel excluding

and PCB?
I hadn't noticed that part before- I'm thinking one of those connected=20
straight to a PIC would open up a lot of possibilities...
