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 ๐Ÿค

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
