I've never used a lamp module as my lighting is all low energy. BTW
how much energy does a plug-in module consume? Are my appliance
modules consuming more energy than my lights?!

If when you switch a lamp module on, it goes straight to 100% bright,
how quickly can you dim it? Can you set an exact percentage you want
it dimmed to, say 73%?

And how quickly can you adjust down to the desired level? Can't you
automate the dimming, such that the 100% to 73% is achieved in an
unnoticeable fraction of a second?

Thanks.
