I have a 10W 12V light bulb which I want to install a "fader" on - so when
the switch is turned on, the bulb uses around 1-2 seconds to fade up, and
then fades down again in the same amount of time when you turn the switch
off.

How could I do this? Shouldn't I be able to use a capacitor? (How much
capacitance would it need?) Any other things I could do?

Regards,
Nils Magnus Englund
