Gary,

I was wondering if it was something like that. However, my DVM also shows
120 VAC when the switch is off. I was aware that the dimming function
only worked with resistive loads, but I thought the switch itself would
interrupt the circuit. That is, OFF should be OFF.

So, you are saying that this thing turns off a resistive load, but will
still pass current
if it's something else?
