Standalone alarm clock that will fade a light on and then back off.

Because making sure a dimmable AC circuit will work is hard (plus I would have to actually get a dimmable light then...), the light alarm clock is based around a 12V DC LED lamp.
A nodeMCU connects to NTP over wifi to keep in sync and calibrate the time / date. There is no RTC even though it would be simple to add in the future (again, don't have one).
Current software is pretty bad, but does all I need it to for now.
The 3.3V logic from the NodeMCU wasn't enough to fully turn on my FET, so I have rigged up a simple level shifter using a diode and resistor. The light is actually fairly bright now rather than the dim glow it used to be.
