Edison Bulb Night Mode

I imagined it having a circuit to dim it during the night, like a night light. For example having a few filaments inside a bulb and switching between parallel for more light and serial for less light.

Our home was not well insulated and in a corner of our sleeping room we had condensing moisture (it was unavoidable because in the corner the temperature was way too low,the lowest I had was 9°C or 48°F). I thought about putting some nichrome wire (for example terrarium heating wires) in the corners and having a switch between parallel and serial as a means for two different power levels. The idea is a parallel switch. If you turn the switch, multiple contacts are connected and disconnected. If you connect the wires cleverly, you can switch between parallel and serial. Luckily our landlord found a permanent solution for this problem after I showed him the measurement I made, so I didn't need to build this.

So that's why I started to get a picture of an Edison bulb that has such a switch inside its base.

You might consider switching this - render the dark-mode version by default, and have the flicker be from dark-to-light. For users operating mostly in dark mode, a bright flash of white can be painful. The same is not true for users operating in light mode - they will barely notice a moment of dark.

1. My dark mode preferences change throughout the day. Caching the value in localStorage means that it will require manual updates twice a day. Add a behavior that automatically unsets the localStorage key whenever it would set it to the currently system-preferred value.

2. Apply the override using a CSS class on the body element calculated from a synchronous JavaScript block to avoid the flash.

I played with this a bit and yes, that flicker is harsh. I appreciate the fade-in, but maybe have the initial color on load be somewhere between light and dark and then fade it to whichever is set by the client.

The bulb is a really nice detail, and the color schemes are both really nice.
