Re: X-10 dimming

["Neil F" <automated@xxxxxxx>]

My Guess is the LW12's need to keep conducting to some degree since there
is
no neutral connection...
It is normal, mine are the same...
I haven't got any DIN rail modules but i would guess they dim right down
since they require a neutral connection..

I could be wrong ;-)
