these look really nice - is there a UK disti? I take
it the push button model is the momentary switch?

Also I now need to re ask the wiring question. If I
put a dinrail module in my consumer unit for my lounge
lighting what wiring do I run? I understand wire run
>from
the wiring to from switch?

Cheers
Mark
