The APA102 datasheet (https://cpldcpu.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/apa-102c-super-led-specifications-2014-en.pdf 45) specifies a power consumption of “0.2W (MAX 1W)”.
Well, which is it? 0.2W or 1W? Does that mean a max draw of 1W each on full-white, but 0.2W “dark” draw? Has anyone got a bunch (at least a hundred) of them and hooked them up to an ammeter to confirm either of these figures empirically?
Been trying to find the answer myself and found this thread on another forum from a couple years ago, nobody had a definitive answer for this person.
