Hi Doogie,

> Should brighten or dim.

I have only succeeded to dim it continously from max to min using AutoM8it,
but cannot dim it at a specific value, nor to bright it...
... it hangs with a small fading and I must disconect it froom the mains in
order to stop it.

I have tried with two lamp bulbs (60W and 100W). With both of them I get
the same result.

.... again my english...(:-)))... it is about flickering, not
flashing....:-)... yes, you can compare it with the monitor, but much more
intense.

I have only the CM11 interface, no other controller, so I am interested to
have local DIM/BRIG commands.


Thank you,
