There is the kludge of mounting an LD11 somewhere else (eg ceiling rose)
   and mucking around with the wiring a bit between the switch
and the 
rose..... Ken Watt described that a while ago, which I was going to do 
until I discovered I had upside down lighting.... my ring was wired with
the neutrals at the switch end, not at the rose end.......

An LW11G, and a visit from Ken and his electrician uncle later (I had 
neutral at the switch, but had a whole lotta wires in there I was a bit
suspicious about!) and it was all working with preset dim etc.

So.... depends wether you want to rewire, and depends what whoever the 
monkeys who last wired your place were up to, changes what your options
are....!
