Smooth fading circuit for Christmas lights using 555 timer

Circuit from here: www.555-timer-...
I had to change the capacitance and resistance values a bit, to compensate for the larger load of the string lights.

I appreciate your passion for electronics/engineering
I never was into that but seeing you genuinely enjoy this as a hobby can make even something as banal as Christmas tree lights interesting
