Perhaps less widely known is that if you market a commercial product that actually uses PWM to modulate LED intensity, you're liable to be litigated against by Philips for patent infringement?
Wild...yeah, I know. Heard that from a buddy in Austin over a decade ago. Vaguely recall that he had to redesign using some sort of current driver instead to avoid the legal encumbrance.
