Edited see bottom of post
This is my first blueprint share, and I’m putting it up here because I couldn’t find anything like it,
What this blueprint does
it will dim a total of 3 seperate lights to a different brightness at sunset or sunrise or when the lights are turned on, as not every room in the house needs the same brightness you can change the brightness of each light to your desired amount
You will need to create a input select (dropdown) from the helpers located in devices and integrations, this must have 2 options Day and Night, . you will then have to create a automation to trigger the dropdown to go to night when the sunsets, I’ve created a blueprint for this also. Here is the link

Enjoy!!!

Edit
Blueprint has been updated, for ease of use I have changed it to only 1 light, this way you can create an automation for each individual light
I have added in whether or not you want the light to turn on at sunset and sunrise
I have also added transition time for when the light turns on at sunset or sunrise, transition time won’t affect the lights if you are just turning them on throughout the day
I also added a transition time debug, some lights won’t trigger on until they hit a certain percentage, so setting a light to 100% and then setting the transition time 5 minutes will just turn the light onto 100%. The way around this is to turn the light onto its minimum brightness and then let the light go from that to the brightness you have set.
Leave debug at 10% if you don’t have an issue, if the transition time isn’t working then try increasing it till your light is just barely on
