I think "#3 Restore Level" is an undesirable feature. Bulbs burn out mainly due to the current surge when they're turned on. So to maximize bulb life, I always turn the dimmer switch to minimum light before turning it off. That minimizes the surge when it's turned back on. But the "Restore Level" feature turns on the bulb with the high surge current that corresponds to the high previous light level. However, if the "Restore Level" feature were combined with an anti-surge feature -- an automatic gradual ramping up from off to the previous level -- that would be more useful.

Good point. I know the dimmer in our kitchen brings the lights on over a second or so. Perhaps it has a ramp up feature built in.
