I used a PWM cause I can adjust to my liking. They are not just running lights, I can turn them off I if I wanted to. This was a small project for me to see how LED lighting are and how PWM works. Seeing a diagram is great, but hands on is better. PWM is not necessary used for application of two voltages. It is also known as a DC motor speed controller, means you can control the out put of a single DC power signal with this unit.
