The Magic Lamp

RParkerE

16 Mar 2015

Late one night...

You are sitting at your desk, doing your work in the late afternoon. Its a beautiful day outside and your desk is by a door, there is no need for you to have your lights on. But the sun begins to set, and you are stuck in the dark, too immersed in your work to get up and turn on the lights. Fortunately you have a magic lamp! This lamp has the power to know when the sun is setting and turn itself on.

And the Genie granted your wishes...

For a consumer friendly solution to all your lazy problems! The genie, Premier Farnell, poofed in all the tools need and all the workers necessary to turn your wish a reality. His new help toiled day and night until your wish came true. Your lights are now Smart. They will function independent of user input, minus the initial setup, and we will all live happily ever after.

    Is it going to slowly get brighter or will it use a relay/solid state relay

    Sounds good, you could also then use it as an alarm clock for the morning

    I will be attempting to have it start dim and slowly grow brighter in order not to harm the users eyes and allow his/her to adjust to the lighting.
