That moment when you realize you could power half a display case of lighting off a USB port. The efficiency of modern LEDs is impressive.

504 LEDs @ 500mA total, in strings of 2 (~8V) ≈ 2 USB ports worth of power with voltage to spare.pic.twitter.com/s58ckZkxzF

Only downside is the green cast that they often give photographs due to the odd spectrum. I have to correct all of my photos

These are dual color (warm/cool white) so they're a bit more flexible WRT color temperature.

Ah neat, they are probably still both blue+phosphor, but your photo isn't bad. I didn't know they made combo strips.

Yeah, they're still standard white LEDs (blue base), but I'm guessing having two variants might end up with a more even mix.
