5050 Strip SMDs-Whould they be hot wide open?
« on: September 02, 2020, 08:55:09 pm »
I just tested a 6' strip of 93 5050 SMDs for amperage and got exactly what I calculated at .21 watts per 5050 SMD when all colors are 100%: 1.6A

I'm a little concerned about temperature. I didn't take a reading, but they felt very warm to the touch wide open. Does anyone know if that is normal in this situation?
