If you can, try the LM14A. It ramps up slowly from zero and ramps
back down to zero when you are done with it! It's not a leviton but
it SURE is sweet!

Don't know what a "LM14A" is? Google it!

If you don't need the 2-way capabilities, try the smarthome 2384 (same
as 2380, but no transmit) or the leviton 2201. They're about the least
expensive, "reliable" X10 dimmers you'll find (they both have ramp up/down).

The LM14A (a lamp module) isn't comparable to the switches that you're
talking about. Also, it's from X10 Inc. -- a manufacturer to be avoided
whenever possible ;-)

I guess you subscribe to the "better late than never" posting
philosophy. I'm willing to bet the poster already has a solution by
now.
