We're not talking about ease-of-dimming; we're talking about ease of  
dimming WITH currently installed dimming technology, which has two  
problems:
1) it works by cutting off part of the AC cycle
2) the power to operate the dimming circuitry itself is derived by  
conduction THROUGH the lamps being dimmed.
Neither of these is particularly compatible with either the preferred  
dimming methods for LEDs OR non-resistive loads in general...
