Lots of info on the 'net -- try looking it up yourself. Have you even
tried?

yup - like the 2mil hits from various stores that merely mirror the exact
Lutron marketing text
and nowhere is there a technical explanation for their HED technology,
or more about the design differences between a simple high freq Variac
switcher
vs some complex circuit that modifies the power wave under the curve
or handles PWM as used for dimming and controlling LED lights vs CFL lights.
Will try a posting over in the electronic design newsgroup -
