Outside lights with dimmer..

Here I have setup a temporary dimmer switch with timer. The timer will turn on the lights at 7pm and off again at 6am, everyday. It should provide a measure of security and add's for a nice effect outside. Since they are LED lights, the power usage is extremely minimal, only 12 watts per bulb at max lighting. With the dimmer it is using only 2.4 watts.

On the left I have a dimmer set to 20% and on the right I have the timer. The timer has a built in battery which holds the schedule incase of power failure.
