Add the ability to specify number of analog/PWM LED's for better ballpark current approximations and limiting. #2738

**Is your feature request related to a problem? I want to current limit my analog LED strip, but since WLED treats it as a single LED, it can't estimate the current used.

Describe the solution you'd like When selecting a PWM strip in LED Config, add a space to specify number of LED's. That multiplies some general LED current use.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried adjusting the current limiter very low to account for WLED thinking it's only a single LED, but the box doesn't seem to accept anything less than 400 mA.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Thank you for your ideas for making WLED better!

You can select Custom and enter how much A all your analog LEDs consume. That should work. For example: 1m of analog LEDs (60/m) will consume approximately 1A so I would select Custom in a dropdown list and in the amount field enter 1000.
