You got it!

There's access to all the wiring in the loft, so that's where the box with
the LD11 goes.  The light fitting will already have live and neutral
supplies, along with the cable from the lightswitch.

The cable from the lightswitch is run to the LD11's switch input instead of
going to the light fitting.  Then the live, neutral and dim terminals on
the
LD11 are connected to the light fitting's live, neutral and switched live
respectively.  The wallswitch will also need changing for a momentary type
-
but there's no need to run a neutral to the lightswitch.
