Anyone find a good ramp timer for LEDs?
Hello,
We happened to purchase LEDs that are not programmable. We have them on regular timers (from Home Depot) but are worried about the going from off to on so suddenly. Has anyone found a decent (and inexpensive) ramping timer that could be used with LEDs? Thanks in advance. -Mike |

I use the current USA model on my TruLumen LED strips, and it works quite well. Not sure if it is compatible with any other LEDs though.

There is the storm and blue fish that seem to be great from when I was looking into them..You would need to wire it into the unit but it's basically exactly what your want for less then $100.

They'll be fine turning off and on, they're designed to do that and no, I don't believe there is anything external that can control N LED unit as you desire unless you get a controller.
