Hi Mark,

The switch is momentary for as long as you keep it pressed. The types
normally used on dimmers are latching types with push for on and push for
off. Each push changes the state.

A typical momentary switch is the reset button on your PC. Keep it pushed
i=
n
and the PC stays in reset, release and it reboots.

Latching types would be the old style power switch on a PC front panel. ATX
style is momentary just to confuse matters... :o)

The age old ugly switch issue.

As an ignoramous what makes a switch momentary? Is a dimmer switch
that you push on and off rather than turn on and off momentary???

Cheers
Mark
