Re: DIN Rail Boxes

This leads to another interesting question.

If a lamp is controlled by an X10 dimmer, then I believe you cannot go =
from Off to Dim using X10 commands without going to full brightness fir=
st.  If a lamp connected to an LD10 or LW10U is manully turned off, is =
it really off on on maximum dim?  In=20
other words, will it accept X10 brighten commands without going to full=
brightness first?

Obviously ;-(

As most of my lights are CFLs, dimming isn't an issue, so that's OK rea=
lly.
Now I just need to find a suitable box- for some reason square boxes s=
eem
to be like hens teeth- except for IP65 rated ones, which aren't
particularly attractive... ;-(

I presume that with the AD10 it just sets itself on the last command
received, either an on or off from the switch, or an on or off from the=

controller- is that right?  Or does it change state with each switch
action, a bit like 2-way switching works?

To put it another way, if I switch the light on with X10 and the switch=
is
at 'off', how do I switch the light _off_ manually?  Do I move the swit=
ch
to 'on' then 'off', or just move it to 'on'?
