PWM is short for Pulse Width Modulation. It is digitally encoded light output control that  regulates the cyclical peaks and lows of power - called duty cycle - released to your LEDs via a special program. It is often hard-coded in a separate device called controller or micro controller.

When PWM is used, it is to exceed the maximum continuous output available from your LED.
