When you dim or brighten your interior lights, do they dim in a linear fashion?

No.  Mine dim in a luminous fashion.  :D

If I turn my dimmer a quarter of the way, the lights should dim half as much as if I turn the dimmer half way, right?

The lights do not all dim at the same rate.

There seems to be a delay in the dimming of the radio, as if maybe there is a small capacitor holding power for a bit.

I've never paid attention to whether it's proportionate or not.
