Lighting Dimmer with Timer

[tnguye02]

Does anyone know where I can get a timer that would include a light dimmer?

An On/Off timer works but a dimmer would simulate the natural sunset and sunrise more effectively. And it would not shock the fish/coral each time the light goes off.

what kind of lights are you going to dim??

 

[tnguye02]

The main lights (VHO).

I want it to gradually dim from 100% to 75% .....25%..0. before it goes completely off where only the lunar lights are on.

Where as now, when it is time, the light goes from full ON to OFF.

my lights flick on and off too.. Im not sure though if you can dim with flourescent lights?? What I do is just have a light on in the room when the timer shuts off.

Doesn't one of the lights we use dim? I forgot but I know some of them do. I think its only incandesce that can dim. I know reef controllers can dim those. But im not sure about a cheap timer to do that. Also I think some MH ballasts are made to dim MH.
