Dim, wait & return to previous

Sometimes I want to use my light to notify me of an event. Today I do this by toggling the lights twice.
But I think could I do this more elegant with a python script. Anyone that can help to set up a script as described below?
Any help is much appreciated :)

1 Store the current dim level
2 Dim the light 80%
3 Wait 4 seconds
4 Return to the stored dim level

HI - Have a look at this thread -- it may be just what you're looking for.

I came here to drink milk and kick ass....and I've just finished my milk.
