Guys,

Sorry if this is an FAQ, but as you know, I've finally turned to the
dark side and installed some X-10 instead of hardwiring yet more
cables ;-)

I have, among other things, an LM12U and an LW10U. These control,
respectively a bedside lamp and the main light in our bedroom.

If I "keep dimming" the LM12U, it ultimately goes dark.
If I "keep dimming" the LW10U, it stays at a low level, but never
goes dark completely.

Given that the plan for "default overnight state" is to dim to
zero,
then dim up 20% on PIR trigger for 5 minutes in the other rooms, this
is a problem if I can't dim to black. (Obviously if X-10 had a dim up
to 20% from off without going to full first...)

Two questions:

1: Is this LW10U behaviour normal?
2: Which behaviour do the DIN rail dimmer exhibit?

Regards,

Mark
