Dimmer Switch

[dave_h34]

I'm after a simple high voltage dimmer switch, nothing fancy, not for multiple circuits, no mood settings, not remote control, just a simple dimmer. The thing is though I hate rotary and 'touch sensitive' dimmers. Whilst at a conference i saw the perfect switch, it look exactly like a standard light switch but operated as follows: a quick press turned the lights on and off, a press and hold cycled the dimmer through a continuous up then down ramp. In both cases the switch returned to its original 'up' position when you took your hand off. Anyone know who makes these/where I can get them from?

Thanks,
Dave

Forbes & Lomax have exactly the type of switch you are after.
