Re: LED 'smoothing' question

Well...it's not basic but I used a PIC microcontroller to solve that
problem.
D from BC>>

To add - this would need to be something connected directly to the
bulb, or between the bulb and the voltage going to it, I can't modify
the circuitry that's sending the power to the bulbs.
