PS.
Incidental question: which chip is "better" :)- 3528 or 5050 or 1210 of same lumens per board? I'm serious. Let's say, 48*3528 VS 16*5050 VS N*1210 (don't remember how 1210 is rated against 3528). Any pros and cons?
I would think that the smaller - the better, because you have then more chips per board, so the light source is more "continuous". But 5050 seems to be most common size, at least on Ebay. Some sellers don't even carry anything but 5050. Easier manufacturing perhaps?
