All three LED boards connected to the supply voltage bus. Each board does PWM and there's a magic frequency that creates a noticeable (audible + visible) beat-note. Adding some capacitance helps. Should have been on the PCBs, but it might have worked without it.

...not the 'Hour of P...' ! This will kill most of the noise on the supply lines of my current LED illumination project.

I had to find out the hard way that my Kitchen Lights boards lack a lot of smoothing capacitance on the LED driver supply lines. Therefore I made this board, which just attaches to the bus in between the main PCBs and should take care of the problem. A lot later I realized that one layer of it it looks somewhat like a happy face ;-)
