I've read about the halogen cycle, but I've also read that the cycle isn't interrupted unless the bulb drops below some critical temperature. The implication being that the "dim" position of the lamp switch is above that point. This would seem to imply that dimming the bulb between full on and some minimum amount should not affect bulb life. Is there any plug in module that will allow you to set a minimum dim position without a computer interface?

Thanks,

Joe
