Forward-Phase Dimmer–Gen 2
Linear: The linear curve matches the control input percentage to Root
Mean Squared (RMS) voltage output. Each percent increase in control
level increases dimmer voltage output by the same amount.

Modified Square Law (Mod-Square): A standard square law curve
may overcompensate for infrared loss, resulting in "steppy" response
to incremental control changes at low levels. This modified square law
curve applies a second multiple to the standard square law curve for
more uniform response to control levels changes across the entire
range of dimmer output.
