Default Light output of dimmed lamps

In a related question----
If I leave the dimmer in the lowest position where the light is (looks)
turned off, is it still drawing power?

D.


Mine has a "click" for the off position. Based on the following, I think it
still takes some power when turned down past visible light.

a 100-watt bulb dimmed to the equivalent light output of a 60-watt bulb
actually draws 70 watts through the electronic dimmer.


Perhaps someone knows for sure.
