If it had the theater lighting effect of dimming slowly when the 12 seconds are up.. that would be really sweet!

There was a topic on the old board about theater lighting but nothing ever came of it. Has anyone tried it since? That would be something I would like to do to my SVT. 12 seconds of light then dim to go off.



There is a unit called "IL-2 Fader". Do a google seach for it and you'll turn up a few automotive places selling them. I think they are around $20 or so. They provide an 8 second delayed 12V supply at a 2A draw max.

Surely someone here can come up with a quick design for a diode and cap system that will do the same thing? Paying $20 for this thing is like getting robbed.

I've searched the archives and haven't found any details on building your own.

Anyone with electrical skills willing to give it a try?
