return to their previous levels.

an on/off toggle function. Set the switch to BLACKOUT to immediately take
out all the lights on stage. Set the Blackout switch to NORMAL to return to
the previous levels. The Blackout switch function is the same as instantly
moving the Grandmaster slider between full and zero.
