11 and change.
Keep in mind that if you run a power resistor at its rated power, it will heat somewhere around 70C... about 158F! This could be a problem in a wall box, especially in close proximity to other dimmers.
I don't like things getting that hot. My rule of thumb is to buy a resistor of twice the power rating... which seems to keep the temperatures more in the range of 40C and below.
