Intensity Control
To increase efficiency (or to allow digital intensity control without a more complex digital-to-analog converter), the power may be applied periodically or intermittently; so long as the flicker rate is greater than the human flicker fusion threshold, and the LED is stationary relative to the eye, the LED will appear to be continuously lit.

Famous quotes containing the words intensity and/or control:
“Murder is born of love, and love attains the greatest intensity in murder.”
—Octave Mirbeau (1850–1917)
“Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
