My new strip arrived which i will use for testing, but also to replace any strips i accidentally burn out in the monitor during the long experiment, however, the strips i ordered were a little different, they didnt come with a driver, and also the writing on them is different. supposedly the operating voltage is 10-12v, they say “24W” on them and apparently have 96LEDs wheras the others that come in a kit only have 90, i havent compared either against each other as of yet or done any testing since im swamped in my uni assignments, but it may be that this particular set of LEDs might be actually stronger than what comes in the kit. Besides the writing though they look identical. Also 24W might be reffering to the fact its for a 24″ monitor. but it also might be that the combined output of the 2 strips is 24W which would be impressive.

The strips in question are called “LED strip GY-540-530MM-24W-96LED (540mm)”
