    Automated Dimming of Fluorescent Lights

    EDT iLine questions

    I'm considering this lighting system, and I was wondering if you guys could answer some questions about it: How do the buttons work? (You'd think they'd describe this on www.edt.biz). I assume they behave like normal, press the top, light goes on. Press the bottom, light goes off. Push and...
