Lights on to simulate a 14 hour day

#1

I’m struggling to find a solution to my problem of simulating 14 hours of daylight with days getting shorter and then daylight savings time.

I would like a piston to turn on a switch based on

You might want to read this thread of mine… It is some crazy math, but works like a champ to determine where we are in the year based on day length.

For example, that math formula results in a very accurate number:

0 = Winter Solstice (Shortest day of the year)
50 = Both Equinoxes (12 hour day & night)
100 = Summer Solstice (Longest day of year)

Once you have that piston running, then you can use that number to determine what you want your simulated daylight to be. (IE: decide on the min & max, and let the 0-100 be a percentage)

Lots to grasp, but I think I can get it . A lot of good information. Thank you!
