These sort of lights do not handle being dimmed ... they will just reset as they do now.

My first post so please be gentle!

I have a set of xmas tree lights with a control box that changes the flashing pattern each time you press a button on the box. The thing is every time the lights are turned off/on it defaults to the first pattern and I have to click the button a few times to get the one I want, which is a big pain when the box is behind the tree. I was planning to plug them into a lamp module and then dim to 0% or maybe 1% instead of switching off. They should then retain the pattern when I brighten them back up again.

Does anyone know if the LM is suitable or will I blow up the box? I guess an AM won't help 'cos that would be just like turning off at the socket.

Thanks and Happy Christmas

Stuart
