This blows Phil's statement out the water which is rare, there is no TRMS in DC.
" true RMS " = DC equivalent value for the *heating* effect on a resistance.
Known. but a DC meter might not be set up for that.
** You are not paying proper attention.
DC voltage and true RMS voltage are equivalent.
DC meters read the average, DC value of a wave.
The voltage, though, for an LED lighting system is NOT
proportional to current; it's the current average that makes
the light output bright or dim. Neither average DC nor RMS
are suitable measures unless it's on a CURRENT scale rather than voltage.
