It is a feature in quality touch light dimmers. When you touch them the
light ramps up to the brightness you have set, touch them again and they
ramp down to off. Check Leviton, Lutron and other quality manufacturers for
their higher end dimmers. You may not find them at a BORG but they are
available from electrical supply houses.

I like the way the interior lights in newer cars fade to off. Out of
curiosity, are those fading bulbs, or are do cars have a wired-in piece of
electronics that controls the light. I'd like to emulate that effect with
certain lights inside the house.

I've been googling around, probably using poor terms like fading light
bulbs and light switch fade. Are there products I can buy that will do
this, other than regular dimmers?

thanks,
