For your project:
One 555 dimmer circuits.
One 4017 circuit for switching the LED strips
Two or more mosfets to power the LED strips.
To be clear you have 6 LED strips each 1meter long?

How much dimming is require using two switches?
Like high with both switches OFF then medium with one switch ON then low when both switches are ON?

Only high and low button, when press button + increase dimming, when continue pressing - button decrease dimming," light dim with _ button and back with + button"

Any kind of help?

I've found this circuit,
IMG_20241129_024644.jpgit work perfect on proteus, but when merge with the other part of circuit don't work right

The dimming not complete, doesn't dim to zero ampere, also when release the button, brightness gradually start again
I think because capacitor, how solve this problem?
Please look

A microcontroller would be simplest.

Otherwise you need an up / down counter a digital potentiometer, and a PWM dimmer. The micro would do all of these functions plus debouncing the switches. And would replace your 4017 as well.
