Hi doug
I have been reading about these problems and i have decided to continue with my strips but also use some point sources(single chip or clusters) which i haven't yet decided on the form of to produce the bulk of the photons. would my motor controller or a mosfet with a smoothing cap(low pass filter) present a constant current to what ever LEDs do the dimming. i haven't decided if it all has to dim yet. so very open to suggestion. I appreciate LED lighting is a well developed field by now that many still don't know about the finer points of but probably gets simplified by generalist hobby engineers.
