I had a great idea... Day / Night Cog

I was walking to school and I was thinking about my level. I thought it might be possible to do a simple day / night transition from cog. All it would have to do was for, say, 10 lights, reduce their brightness / intensity / whatever the hell it is down to 0 through however many seconds. Then, stay dark for however many seconds, then get light in the same way to the original values, staying on for however many seconds. It may need to be C/Sed... I dunno, and active at startup. If possible, can you also test it for me? If not, can you tell me what I'd need to change to make it possible?

You'll get candy!

The best way that I know of to make the effect realistic.

Math is infinitely finite, while the universe is finitely infinite. PI = QED

Y'know, that doesn't help. At all.

Why didn't it help, explain...

Because a specific cog would do me better, foo'!

Seriously, I didn't see how any would help me. Plus, I know where I stand with my own requests.

ARG!

You people! WHY does every person just stick there head in here and say 'WOW! I had this incredible, original idea!'

...

I've seen far too many threads on this subject alone. And there are already definative editions out. my server is down, but I'll get one up here soon.

Cordially,

I know like hell that it's not original. Many have suggested it in the past. It was only the method that I thought about was a case of "Wow! Maybe you could do it like that!"

C'mon. I'm not a n00b. But maybe I should have put 'I had a great idea for a day / night cog!'

So sue me. No wait, please don't.
