Questions on purposely strobing LED\'s
Could the LS LED's (or other types) be turned on and off in the 60+ hz range and would it hurt them? Could there be power savings from a given source say batteries and some sort of electronic circuitry that would do this?
Since the brain/eyes percieve light as being constantly "on" above certain frequencies, I was wondering if this might be a viable way of saving power (since the light is actually off much of the time) yet keeping a certain "perceived" light output. Under the assumption that LED's can be turned off and on this fast without problems.
Note: I am not an electronics whiz so I don't know if any circuitry that could do this would suck up even more power than the on/off cycles would save.
Just curious.
