Hi, I'm reasonably new to this stuff and in search of some guidance.
I am trying to find a way to turn on a 12V .5A LED from a signal that is PWM. The application is a daytime running light signal on a vehicle. The daytime running light signal is about 13.8V DC and on for approx 4ms off and off for 7ms. I thought about using a transistor to do this but I am worried it will switch too fast and cause the LED to flicker. The LED strip requires an input of 12-15V and draws up to .5A
Any suggestions/comments? Am I right that a transistor will react too fast essentially just creating a different PWM signal?
