RGBW LED strip current

[jocke4u]

Hi,

I have a stupid question :) and since it's referenced in the "MySensor shop" I would like to post here ;)

The LED strip on the "MySensor store" here http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575069610&toolid=10001&campid=5337433187&customid=&icep_item=171158397695&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg

Specifications:
● Color: RGBW Mixed
● View angle:120°
● Working Voltage: 24V DC
● LED Quantity: 300 leds/5 M(150pcs RGB LED and 150pcs White LED)
● Working Current/Meter: 6A
● Output power: 72W /5 Meter

As I understand 5050 SMD LED have a standard power consumption of 0,24W/LED = 72W for the one above which seems ok. With 24V it should be 3 Amp for 5 m (72W/24V) and not 6A per meter as it says.

Also it would be good to have a good recommendation on 12V LED driver as you also have 12V LED strips in the shop
