Driverless LED experiments.
Added 2017-03-19 05:12:29 +0000 UTCAs requested, the addition of a smoothing capacitor to the driverless LED, plus a dielectric test on it's substrate.

I would imagine it would keep the voltage climb down but the whole array would then draw more power, so I suspect you'd get the same over-heating and down-regulation from the chips as a result of them passing higher current at the peaks of the sine wave as the cap would charge along with the LED's. Would minimize the flicker... I don't know how easy it would be to get to those tracks with all that silicone on there if you didn't know where to scrape in the first place.
