will someone please post a simple circuit for making a plugged in light fade up and down automatically ?

2nd question: florescent lights cannot fade up and down, right?

# 1. I most likely have an extra fader that I use for my cemetery lights that I got on clearance from Christmas time that I could sell cheap and ship to you.

# 2. correct.

I have a fading light circuit how-to that I can send to you. It does require assembly using a touch-panel dimmer. I use them in carved-from-the-inside JOL's.

if it fades on and off automatically, I'm up for it Otaku

Would you mind sharing that 'fading light circuit how-to' Otaku?

 

[Otaku]

Yes, it runs a ~10 sec. dim-bright-dim cycle, over and over.

No problem - I need to make a PDF and I'll post it at Halloween Gallery tomorrow AM.

looks easy enough...wish I had pics to go along with it.

 

[Otaku]

Yeah, me too! I took a bunch of pix today, put the box back together, and then found that the camera didn't have a memory stick in it. I'll get pix up on Halloween Gallery tomorrow. And you're right, SI, it really is easy.

 

[Sickie Ickie]

It gives me hope for the project challenged like me, Otaku

 

[Fangs]

Cool! Sounds easy enough, but let's just see how easy it is! :googly: LOL anyone smell a fried bat coming on? LOL

 

[Sickie Ickie]

sniff sniff Not yet. hehehhehehehhee

The only thing is not to use one of the slider or knob dimmers. For this to work, you must use the one that has a touch-panel.

Flourecent are dimmable if you use a dimmable ballast.
