Re: 1960s House Rewire - Lighting control?

[Tim Hawes <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ste,

Any particular reason for choosing BBSB plug-in modules rather than X10
plug-ins?
If you're going for X10 dimmers it might keep the programming a bit
simpler.

Another option might be to home-run the wiring now but connect them up as
rings. Later on, when/if funds allow, it would be relatively simple to
convert to a bank of centrally switched modules (X10, CBus, or whatever).

HTH,

Tim.
