Hi everyone.

Im looking at making a simple 12V lamp fader. What I want is when 12V is supplied to the circuit, it fades up the output to 12V over say 8 seconds. The output load will be no more than 4A at 12V DC. Also I need to control the 12V side not the Grd side, so I guess PNP Tranny, or P Channel MOSFET might be the way to go. Any ideas at all as im stick. I found a circuit, this appranty dims, so would need a reverse of this.

Any help would be fantastic.

Cheers
Will
