Another lingo note, the old-school TRIAC dimmers are the forward phase ones. Being mostly on the commercial side I don't see much of this, but maybe on residential products that's what's implied when something calls itself "dimmable".

When we get 2-wire dimming it's usually reverse phase (AKA Electronic Low Voltage (AAKA ELV)).
