12V WS2815 wrong power consumption #4

Open xrtze opened 2 months ago

xrtze commented 2 months ago

The calculated power consumption of 12V WS2815 is off by 100%. 300 physical LEDs result in 48W, when it should be 90W. Any WS2815 strip i checked online stated 0,3W/Led or 90W/strip for 60Leds/m. Pls fix soon! I relied on the calculation without double checking and ordered wrong supplies+housings for a larger project.

Do not trust what sellers say. Almost all of them say 0,3W/LED for all led types. But this is not true in most cases, and completely wrong in other cases. The data used in wled-calculator are real world measured data (+10% margin, see "Find out more details" section).
