Larry:

David B is correct in that the ability to ramp up a light's brightness from the off mode is contained in the switch or module being used. The most common type of X-10 switches and lamp modules require the lights to go to 100% brightness before they can be dimmed back down. Lamp modules that have the feature you asked about are about $35 and wall switches start at about $40.
