You've got several options for "wiring for X10":-

Standard traditional UK lighting wiring: lets you use LW10U which offer
on/off/dim (no soft start/memory dim etc)

Standard traditional UK lighting but with neutral at switch rather than
in ceiling rose: lets you use LW11G which offer on/off/dim with soft
start, last dim memory, dim direct to level

Homerun wiring - directly wiring each lighting source back to wiring
cabinet and wiring light switches the same: lets you use LD11 which have
the same features as the LW11G, and momentary switches. As Dean
mentioned, at this point, you can run cat5 in the same runs as your
light switch wiring, allowing you to upgrade to something like C-Bus at
a later date. :-)

Cheers
