I can get to the loft for the upstairs lights okay (lets leave aside
downstairs lights for now!!)
but my consumer unit is @ ground floor level.
Where can I find info on the LD11 - I can only see LD10 on lets automate
&
that requires a neutral wire - so back to major re-wiring again :-((

How do I dim it if it's a momentary jobbie?  Just push & hold and wait
for
it to cycle around?

If this LD11 doesn't need a neutral then I may be okay - though I
presumably
need something to house it in as I don't have a consumer unit in the loft?

As I'm finding out more and more, much of this X10 lark seems to be
'compromise' and 'sticky plaster' type solutions :-(

thanks for all these ideas though Kenneth.
