LD11's are also filament (incandecent) bulbs only too.

I have exactly the same problem fitting my X10 lighting. Im also hampered
that to access the wiring in my loung ceiling, I either have to take up the
entire bedroom floor, or start jigsawing holes in it! Both my lounge lights
are two-way also, which is another problem when fitting X10.

You could try fitting a LW10U (which support status response) into the
ceiling, and use the existing wiring down to the wall switch. Or using an
LM12 which are "wired" versions of the LD11.

To use energy saving bulbs, you need to use a non-dimming module like an
AM12W
