We have the same arrangement of lights, - 1 x ceiling, plus 2 x bedside.
All 
controlled by LD11 DIN modules. - unfortunately in a totally blonde moment,
I utterly forgot about wiring for local control for the bedside lights -
primarily because I've always used a mini-timer on my bedside for
that...  
End result was of course, SWMBO saying to me "err... just exactly how
do I 
turn this on then!" - tried an SS13/TM12 solution for a while - utter
crap, 
failure rate on the commands must have been at least 40% - definately NOT
SWMBO approved...
Finally got a Leviton switch, fitted it into the built-in headboard, and
plugged it into one of the double sockets behind said headboard. This has
been totally reliable, and has achieved SWMBO acceptance.. :-)

SWMBO does not like automated lighting, so I don't do very much of it at
all, that gets round most of the programming logic problems pretty well for
me... ;-)
