Longer daylight and shorter night time in summer. Shorter daylight and longer night time in
winter. The change in sunrise and sunset time through out the year from winter to summer meant
that a fixed predetermined turn on or off time of lights meant you may either be turning on or off
the lights too early or too late. Timer event based on Sunrise or Sunset instead of a specific time
should solve this. You have the option to advance or delay the event to occur by setting the time
and before/after fields.
