Turning on and off an RGB led strip at a set time.

So I have two strips of rgb lights around my room.(The first or second result on Amazon.com when you search "RGB light strip") I am new to the Arduino and just got it very recently. I would like my lights to turn on at a set time, and then turn off 10 minutes later. Could please someone tell me how to do this? What code do I need?(Please link me to some for this) and Hardware do I need? Also I only have to board and that's it. This will be my first time using an arduino so please "Dumbify it" if that's a word. Thanks in advance!

HI Thomas, welcome in the Arduino world.

The best advice is, put those leds away for 3 days and go through the tutorial section of this site. There is a lot of code there and you can pick up many ideas that will help you solve this problem.

(please don't tell people how to get the link to a product/datasheet/whatever, just give the link :wink:
