Have a client who would like LED strips to fade on and fade off on a motion sensor. I found on eBay a controller that has the PIR motion sensor but it doesn't fade. Can anyone direct me to where I might find something like this?
Would you please tell me the operating voltage and current of the LEDs?
I've seen several approaches to this and none have been satisfactory as far as the lowest couple dozen of light levels when dimming down.
I'm about to buy one of these:
[Link: oznium.com] to see if this company has solved this weakest point of LED dimming.
If that doesn't work I'd use the approach I spoke of before: use a transistor to turn the LEDs on and off, and put a resistor and capacitor on the transistor to make it turn the LED voltage up and down over several seconds instead of rapidly.
