Extract

An instrument is described that will brighten and dim a light source and control its “on” and “off” timing.

The periods of brightening and dimming and the period of full illumination are both adjustable.

The instrument is being used successfully for studying the effects of changing light intensity and photoperiod on the activity and development of insects.
