How to ramp interior lights like theater? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'd like my interior light to ramp off over the course of a second or so, which I think is called "theater" lighting.

I figured there'd be some trivial 12V module I could buy and wire inline with the dome lamp, but I couldn't find anything!

I seem to remember Musclecar Restorations had an orange Camaro that had that feature.

Search for auto interior light delay. Summit even sells a delay module

Here's one that I've been looking at. They have some other great products too http://www.revolutionelectronics.com/Dome_Light.html

Thanks! I found one on Amazon as well (keyword to search for is "DOME" and I had been really looking for "INTERIOR").

I grabbed a little $30 circuit off Amazon and will take a closer look at the Revolution one as well. Thanks for the leads!
