** Eat this line **

This is sketchy info at best, but it may point you in the right direction.
I had a job once in a place that made stage lighting controllers.  The
dimmers followed a decidedly non-linear curve which was some sort of standard
for theatre lighting.  I can't remember the name of the satandards organization
nor can I remeber if the curve followed human perception of "brightness" or
just offerred lighting directors more control in the low end.  Sorry to be so
vague, but it was a long time ago.
