Mark,
Thanks for the reply.

Left out one minor detail. Would like lights to come on about 30 min.
before 'dusk'

Tom,
The simplest way is to reference explicit times:
     If time is now 8:00 AM
     Then light set 10%
     Else if time is now 8:05 AM
     Then light set 20%
     ...
     ...

Your event looks fine.
