Default Stupid wiring question

OK, so I built my LED light and used a Dim4 board to get sunrise/sunset. But... because the LED's still light up at 0V they don't really ramp up. I put the drivers on a timer so they come on instantly (albeit at 10% but it's still quite bright) then they ramp up from there. Is there a way to put in a resistor or something to kill that 10%? So that when the timers kick in, the drivers putting out 10% are still not putting out enough to actually light the LED's yet? SO I guess in theory you'd only get 90% output of the LED at max even though the driver is putting out 100%

Smack me if that doesn't make sense, my electrical knowledge is almost 0 :P
