Re: Advice

["egelbeertje" <r_d_k@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anthony,

I've used AWM2 micromodules on 2 occasions where it was absolutely
impossible to rewire/drill holes to add cable etc. Since then the
introduced a cheaper unit but I did not use that one yet so can't
comment. All others are Din modules.
Although expensive it works a treat. One thing to consider in having
multiple switches controlling the same light : momentary switches, it
makes x10 control a lot easier - although the AWM2 and LD11 din
Dimmer support latched switches, it only really makes sense if you
have 1 switch per light.
