Terry,
I was just looking at the same thing. My illuminator seems much more "modern". All self contained with internal batteries and not much of a dimmer... more on/off.

There is no external battery pack and no wire whatsoever, so it will not plug into the dimmer. It seems a more elegant solution in that there is no battery pack to find a place for and no additional wires to flop about. But as for dimming it . . .well, I think that not practical with the kind of unit I received. It does have an on/off switch . . . if I can just remember the "off" part. :) I could do a picture and supply a link if that would help.
