I've just finished having the house rewired.. and just as the
electrician
finishes I "discover" x10. Non of my light switches have
neutrals.. they all
switch on the live (which I'm told is the norm?), so I'd assumed I was
stuck,
but are you saying I could actually have a way around this. Would the
switch
need replacing with a momentary type, or can it still be a rocker. Do
the
LD11's support dimming are are they simply on/off. Can they be used
with
the "modern" energy saving bulbs ?

Having said all that, I sort of get the impression that x10 isn't the
panacia I initially thought it was. Am I correct in assuming that there
can be significant delays and interferance ?
