Generally, florries in a lab are working lights. Why would you need to
dim
them?


Because that's what the designers of the new lab said we need, you don't
think they'll ask us users do you ?
I didnlt think we needed auto on lights in teh toilets either, or the
taps which use PIR , which means yuo canlt adjust teh water temperature
for yourself up or down or the lifts where you have to tell it what
floor before you get in it and then wait for the lift that goes to that
floor.


I assume that if several people are waiting to go to different floors they
can all press different buttons, so why can't one person press all the
buttons that go to all the floors on the way to the one he wants?


What would be the point of doing that ?
