 Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific
 parameters and work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example.
+The timer trigger will periodically change the LED brightness between
+LED_OFF and the current brightness setting. The "on" and "off" time can
+be specified via /sys/class/leds/<device>/delay_{on,off} in milliseconds.
+You can change the brightness value of a LED independently of the timer
+trigger. However, if you set the brightness value to LED_OFF it will
+also disable the timer trigger.
 
 You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler
 is chosen (via /sys/class/leds/<device>/trigger). Trigger specific
