Various embodiments are described herein that relate to systems and methods for selectively providing current to power LEDs. The techniques introduced here can enable smooth dimming of the LEDs from maximum brightness down to “actual extinction” or “pseudo-extinction.” More specifically, the LEDs can be dimmed to extinction without any significant gaps in the levels of brightness (i.e., a noticeable drop rather than a smooth transition between brightness levels). Various pulse width modulation (PWM) and shunting techniques may be used to control the power provided to each color channel of an LED board. Conventionally, PWM often causes LEDs to produce an undesirable acoustic effect. However, by dithering the PWM signals between multiple predetermined positions once the frequency enters the audible range (e.g., below 25 kHz), the cumulative acoustic effect instead becomes white noise.
