Has anyone ever done or ever thought of having their tank light dim off instead of just flicking off?

I was thinking about making my tank as natural as possible and then I realized the sun just doesn't disappear.

Any thoughts?
 
All depends on the form of bulb you have in the tank fluorescent tubes are either on or off so are energy saving bulbs you maybe able to do this with LEDs but I'm not 100% hope this helps
 
This is more relegated to reef lights than fresh water but there are a lot of people buying programmable leds and programming in a sunrise / sunset in their daily light cycle. Personally, I made a led fixture for a planted tank and it was a simple matter to attach a dimmer to the driver.
