HAI’s 500W CFL switch (35A00-1CFL) controls dimmable CFLs (twist bulbs, specifically), providing the equivalent of 1500 watts of incandescent brightness. The switch also has a minimum brightness setting to prevent the bulb from flickering. It has an auto-off feature that can be set up using UpStart Software (free HAI download). The LED will blink when the switch is timing out; additionally, the switch can be made into a non-dimming switch from the paddle itself. The product is expected to ship in the second quarter, 2010.
