Has anyone tried to use an 8-panel 2334 as all switches (and not dimmers)

I would like to install one of these but my lights are all florescent - no dimming. Could one of these just be set to 0.1s ramp-rate or am I risking something going wrong with the ballasts?

No. You need a relay. There's still clipping at 0.1s.

Damn. I see that Insteon at one point made at least the 6 button version in a switch (non-dualband) model ending with S but I have never seen an 8 button unless it's just the kit needed to change from 6 to 8.

Just need the kit

There is an 8 button S in existence.  You can also change faces from 6 to 8.  (there's a short button pressing experience to switch the KP body for the alternate face.)

That's the old single band version. The dual band version is only a 6 button
