I guess not at the circuit level because the higher peak signals are necessary to drive the light emission?
Anyone care to weigh in on this?

In the meantime, it occurred to me PWM stimulate a light-emiting phosphor for continuous-time ambient light applications - CRT style.

You totally can, but the target quantity is average current, not average voltage. Since the LED is a diode, that's not the same.

"higher peak
current
signals", that is.
Thanks for the clarification.
