OK, I'm still hoping to know what the power consumption is for these LEDs, but I've got a fun little project for them. Seems to be working, but I am currently using one 2n3904 per strip as I don't know how much current they consume, so I don't want to put two or more per transistor (which works, but seems to be a hair dimmer, so maybe 2 is too many?). I'll post my work to the projects forum, it's kinda cool to control these little lights via a micro.
Right now, I've got a 3v on the strips, but am curious to know how tolerant they are to more voltage? Also, using a transistor per strip allows a lot of customization, but is overkill honestly. If someone has a datasheet or something, that would help.
