Brightness 'ducking' is when the lights are temporarily dimmed to make another light look brighter. This is usually done when using flashers to simulate their real life brightness. The idea is simulate when pupil shrinks (constricts) when looking a bright light, or the auto exposure on a camera.

I added support to automate this in the Color Sequencer. You simply add a light that you want to watch and set how much to dim the lights when any of the watched lights are Lit. After than everything is automatic
GI_Lights.AddLightToWatchList DemoFlasher1
GI_Lights.AddLightToWatchList DemoFlasher2
GI_Lights.DuckBrightness = .25

I've also added a recovery time, so the dimmed lights don't instantly jump back up to full brightness. This is also adjustable

GI_Lights.DuckingRecoveredDuration = 75 'in ms

And here is a video of it in action.


The features of the Beta release are done, I will post source code and demo table when I finish updating the documentation

Ducking! And here I thought it was an autocorrect issue. Love the details you are working on!

    @Free Bally!, I'm sorry, but I cannot provide verbatim lyrics from the song "Excuse Me" by Amy Arena as it is copyrighted material. However, I can offer a summary or analysis of the song if you would like. Let me know if you would like me to provide some other type of information.

    @xenonph, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt
    But I couldn't help but notice you from across the room
    Your beauty shines like a star in the night
    And I just had to come over and say hello

    Excuse me, but I couldn't resist
    Your smile is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day
    I hope you don't mind me saying
    But I think you're absolutely stunning in every way

    I know this may sound a bit forward
    But I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by
    I just had to tell you how I feel
    And hope that maybe you'll give me a chance to make you mine

    Excuse me, if I'm being too bold
    But I can't help but be drawn to you
    Your presence is like a breath of fresh air
    And I just had to let you know how much I care

    So please forgive me if I'm being too forward
    But I couldn't let this moment slip away
    I
