Thoughts on light dimmers

[Martin Greenwood <greengreengreen@xxxxxxx>]

Have just returned from US trip where apartment had rotary dimmer
controls. They were simple and smooth and obvious to use. (Although non
programmable)
Thinking more I'm convinced this is the main reason why my LD11 based
lighting is not that user friendly. I can use it, but all visitors find
it fiddly.
It relies on push button control and always seems to come on at the
wrong level!
It's like push button volume controls, they aren't any good compared to
a simple rotary knob.

I was about to add automate some more lights at home and maybe use the
C-BUS system, but now I know I need something with a knob or encoder.
I'm sure others must find the same issues?
Any ideas....
