RE: Cabling from switches to LD units

["Keith Doxey" <lists.diyha@xxxxxxx>]

One other reason for the extra wire is that you can always add a second
switch to control another LD10. You also never know what self contained
modules may arrive in the future.

3core + Earth allows the following ...
RED - Live IN
YELLOW - Switched/Dimmed Live out
BLUE - Neutral IN
Earth - Earth.

or with 2 existing LD10's
RED - Live IN
YELLOW - Switch Control for first AD10
BLUE - Switch Control for second AD10
Earth - Earth.

Thanks for the reply Graham.
Can you elaborate on what situations I'd need the neutral appearing at
the
switch, ie how do AD10s differ from the normal X10 dimmer unit, which is
an
LD?
