Don't think I will be using DIN modules at the moment..  I beileve that the
require extra house wiring...   I don't really want to do that at the
moment
- maybe in the future tho.

Sorry, I should have added that the DIN lamp modules  (LD11) let you ramp
up
from off, and have memory dim, so you can dim them, then send an off
signal,
then when you switch it back on, it's at the brightness you left it at.
