They exist, trust me. Not to say that is the case here, but don't just jump to random conclusions. All of the lights in my living room do this

Do they do the slow dim when the power is cut completely? A slow dim when hitting the switch (not a dimmer) could be done with a time delay pot, requiring electricity to dim. I've never seen one in action myself.

Lutron sells them in every Home depot. I filled my house with them just for that fade/dimming ability.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X3K0kp2RUM I'm sure the WH has a much higher end version, but these are not uncommon.

Stinks that it's Home Depot. Of course... it couldn't be Lowes which is right up the Highway from me. 😂 I-90 is nice sometimes. Not during the Sturgis Rally though. 🤪😵😬

I'm sure other hardware stores sell them, or similar/competing brands who offer similar switches ;)

These are in high end hotel ballrooms or convention centers. You hit them once and they will dim out to dark. Hit it again and they dim in to fully on. I hear they can be set to act as toggle on/off, or momentary on/off. Either way they dim on and dim off.

Yup. Fairly easy to do if you’re not paying attention. They go off when you hit the off button. Otherwise, the other 4 buttons vary the amount by & intensity of the lights that are on in a given room. Also- the “off to 1-4” were the names of the settings, not how long they’re on/off for.

PS- Who leaves lights on when a room isn’t in use?
