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?

Why would you want the lift stopping at every floor ?
If a studetn want to go to the 7th floor then why would they press to go to floor 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 5, 6, ?

When I use the lift I just press the button for the floor I want to go to.

I thought you said that it would only send a lift that had already
'decide' to go to the floor you chose.

No.
Do you know what floor you wish to go to before you approach a lift ? I do.

Our old lift if I want to go to floor 2 I press 2, what dop you presss 1 & 2 ?

With the new lifts we have before the lift arrives you use the panel outside the lift to select the floor you wish to go to, similar to what you'd do if you entered the old lift.
Once selected you are told which lift to get in to, then that lift will take you to that floor.

Is it really that complicated ? Our students seem to manage it.
