Well when I crawled out of bed today I could actually use my left arm (the rib spasm was real).
Regardless of what anything printed was promised, the 25 square shaped chips consume an actual two point six oh, WATTS of power. Consistent all 12 boards. Shining a pair of boards at a wall six feet away with a power source of 12.24 powering them, my pitiful LED 200 lumen 3-triple AAA battery mini flashlight simply blows apart the light output like an A bomb blast compares to a flashbulb.
Now I can IMAGINE probably pretty damned accurately what TEN of these boards would produce in light given 12.24 volts. A single 26-watt CFL light bulb would overwhelm the 10 board light output. Like siccing a Rottweiler on a Chihuahua.
Gotta stop now, the rib is starting to ache again...
