Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock

I made this part to convert a ceiling fixture for use as a wake-up light. For those not familiar with the concept, a wake-up light gradually gets lighter, mimicking sunrise, to wake you up more gradually as opposed to a blaring alarm. There are a fair number of commercial offerings on the market that range from $70-120; however, I wanted to put something together that would require no changes to my existing routine and would also interface with my home automation setup.

Details below are for a setup to be controlled via z-wave by a MiCasaVerde controller. It should be fairly simple to implement other means of accomplishing the same thing using other home automation products or simply a WeMo socket.
