Hi all,
I'm about to ask my Electrician to rewire my dining room and kitchen with X10 kit. Both rooms have about 400W worth of GU10 halogens. We'd like both rooms to be dimmable.
Both rooms have 3 separate light switches placed around the room and I'd like to change these to momentary switches.
The two options I'm considering are
1) LDLL in the consumer unit and rewire all 3 switches in each room to trigger the LD11 momentarily
2) LDLL in the consumer unit wired only to the *lights* and then use micromodules in the light switches to transmit the signal to the LD11. That way the switches do not need to be directly connected to the LD11. Then rewire the switches somehow.
Given the likely current wiring situation, is either of these options likely to be more suitable? Am I right in thinking that 2) doesn't really work because the micromodules will need to have some load attached to them anyway - i.e. the lights?
Thanks,
Z.
