OK, makes sense, - I presume that only the LD10/11 is prone to heating due
to the dimming function?

In which case, is there an argument for alternating AD's & LD's, so
that two
(or more) LD's are not adjacent to each other?

This is *just* for the master bedroom lights, although I suppose some
expansion space for a couple of other units would never be a >bad<
idea!
