You can either put in the din module at the light end (assuming your 
lights are wired in the standard way), re-wire every light back to the 
fuse box, or put in an X10 light switch (LW10U) or if you have crazy 
wiring with neutrals at the switch end like me, LW11G.

The LW10U does not support extended dimming, preset dim or soft 
start/stop locally as Mark mentioned. Both types of switches are pretty
ugly.... :( I believe someone mentioned embedding an LW10U in the wall 
with a better switch wired across the momentary terminals...... which 
might be a better-looking-switch option... :S

To all intents and purposes, now they're the same.... The LD10s come 
with LD11 software on them, exactly the same thing as an LD11.
