Power consumption LED Light
I am thinking about setting the LED for the build room to always on.
Dose someone know how much (in Watts?) the power consumption increases?
I am also having the XL enclosure, so some more watts are added to the consumption.

For ballpark calculation of LED circuits assume 2V at 20mA giving 0.04W *for each standard LED* 'though as many simple circuits limit current with an in-line resistor it's often VCC at 20mA so a 3V circuit would deliberately waste power and use 0.06W and a 5V circuit 0.1W.
For non-standard LEDs (blue, high power, colour changing) you will need to look at the datasheets.
Then you count the number of LEDs and multiply.
Cheerio,
