Hi Keith,

Many thanks for the reply...Now it's funny you should mention a
missing neutral as I discovered I forgot to connect a neutral from
the 1st LD11 to the neutral bar! (why it ever worked I don't know!).
Anyhow, things are better than they were but by no means working
correctly. Now the problems I have are that my wall lights will only
dim / brighten by successive presses on my keypad whereas they would
normally brighten / dim smoothly by holding the button down. The
last problem I have is that for some unknown reason one set of wall
lights (on a different number) will not go on / off / dim  or
brighten via X10...If I hook a piece of cable between '2' and Live
in then it works fine. Right now I have the fuse out of this LD11 as
I can't control it. In my celing I have two sets of LV lights on
channel 4, these are (at the moment) controlled by 2 x LD11's (both
set to 4) but they don't seem to work together. If I turn 4 off then
both sets WILL go off but not if I dim / brighten.

Any clues?

Darren
