Pardon a WLED question in the Home Assistant community, but I was unable to find a WLED community in the fediverse.
Regardless, I have this 720 LED/meter FCOB strip, which is 24v strip & I’m trying to figure out what to configure the “LED voltage (Max. current for a single LED):”
Since it’s a 20IC per meter & they claim 21watts per meter that comes out to ~1w per IC. But I’m unsure how that converts to mA like WLED is asking for.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🤠
If i’m understanding your question, what you’re looking for is Ohm’s law
Amp = watt / volt
1 / 24 = 0.042
You want milliamps, so multiply by 1000 giving you 42mA per IC
Thank you!
I guess the second part of my question is I want to confirm that WLED says “per LED” they really mean “per IC”.
Yes that’s correct. Same goes for the normal WS2811 strip lights which are addressable every 3 LEDs.
Yes, they understand an led as a thing they can control. I have an analog strip that is one LED
I’m happy to help.
I don’t know much about WLED, but from the other comments here it would appear so. And i think it’s also what makes the most sense.
