Fibergeek is an unknown quantity at this point

Whistule,
Don't take it the wrong way, I've nothing against slang, it's considered endearing here too. But our slang is quite different than yours, understanding it is sometimes a problem. We colonials are always ignorantly assuming ours is the only. I for one, will accept "anodise" and "Fibregeek" as entirely correct spelling as well.

Back to anodising:

When putting your dimmer assembly together, keep in mind that the only thermal path for heat sinking a dimmer is through it's front panel. Use a metal cover plate on the electrical box you mount it and the receptacle in. not a plastic plate. Also for electrical safety, ground the metal cover to the green (ground wire) in the power cord. I believe you use a different color for the earth connection, but I don't know what it is.
