I agree, the appliance modules are pretty solid. The lamp modules are pretty
solid too (but there can be problems in some parts of the house). I agree
what you say about dimming tho.. that is one weak area... And when it does
work, you sometimes get a buzzing from the lamp.

The other down side with dimming, is that it doesn't work with CF bulbs -
tho you can use CF bulbs on a lamp module at either 100% or 0% (basically
treating it as an appliance module). And since I've converted most of my
lights over to CF, this is what I do.
