That's super impressive with all of them on .. very cool.

You've probably addressed this already earlier, but my memory for details like that is like 5 to 10 minutes tops. What's your total wattage with everything on?

Actually that has never been asked yet but with a total of 272 LEDs @ 3w each that would be 816w at 100% intensity.
