If you want to stay compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
local codes, you can't have a receptacle that is 'dimmed'. It can be switched
on-off, however.

Hopefully one of the emerging X-10 competitors will become useful in
replacing  x-10 dimming modules retrofitted to lamp bases.

In a more perfect world  X10 Inc and Leviton  would be made to repay folks
that have spent time and $ for their failure to upgrade the plastic part in
the SR227  X-10 duplex outlet. They've know about this defect for years and
years. It betrays a contempt for the consumer that is part of the reason I
avoid buying anything from these companies anymore.
