Default JBJ 6G Nano DIY light

Has anyone heard of a DIY job to turn the light in a JBJ Nano on and off?

I have a 6G nano of the second JBJ generation and I'd love to get the lights on the nano to turn on and off automatically. There is a 3 position switch on the top of the tank that turns on the main light, turns on the night light, and the 3rd position turns off everything.

If I skip the night LED lights I could just put a timer on, but I'd like to know what anyone else has done first.

Thanks

I only have one button for lighting and the LEDs are only on if the botton is in position II.

Check with nanotuners - they have all sorts of retrofits & stuff for nanos - maybe they have something.

It's funny you mention that. I found exactly what I was looking for that night on that website. It is a cable assembly that converts the one button into two so both can be controlled automatically.

Thanks
