RE: ADVmonster H4 R3 LED Headlight

#27

So that question about the modulators seems to have never been sufficiently answered.

I'm not an expert (not even close), but my guess at that would be "no". From my very-limited understanding, LEDs work on a threshold voltage, meaning they're either on or off, and will accept nothing between. In a contrast to that, a filament in an incandescent bulb can function off a variable amount of current, and will glow brighter or dimmer depending on exactly that.

So with a modulator, wouldn't you possibly end up with an on/off blinking headlight, rather than the more desirable bright/dim pulsating one?

I might be completely off with this, especially with these modern dimmable LEDs, but that's at least how my tiny brain would speculate the idea.
