Pardon a WLED question in the Home Assistant community, but I was unable to find a WLED community in the fediverse.

Regardless, I have this 720 LED/meter FCOB strip, which is 24v strip & I’m trying to figure out what to configure the “LED voltage (Max. current for a single LED):”

Since it’s a 20IC per meter & they claim 21watts per meter that comes out to ~1w per IC. But I’m unsure how that converts to mA like WLED is asking for.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🤠

    It bothers me that the setting is called LED voltage but refers to current. But at least it refers to current, because controlling the voltage to power an LED is a recipe for a burnt out LED.

      Bothers me as well, time to contribute and open an issue! I’ve never installed WLED so I won’t be able to describe where this setting is and give more information but I invite you or OP to do it

      This is a weird setting that must be in some brand new release because I’ve been using WLED for years and it’s always just been a current limiter for the entire strip. Perhaps it has something to do with OP using COB lights as I’ve only ever used it for standard strip lights like 5050 WS2812B or 5050 WS2815.

        It’s near the current limiter setting, it’s in 0.14.0-0.14.4 at least (Sample size two boards, one that needs updating). It’s how wled estimates how much current each LED takes
