Yea, I noticed on the Pixelrange, the R & G LEDs were 1 watt, and the Blue ones were 3 watts each. I also noticed that the Pixelrange units used a forth color, amber. (RGBA) I didn't think amber would be a problem color as you just mix R & G, but the designers must have felt it was an issue as they are using the quad groups. I must admit, that unit produced a nice white so they must be up to something!

The money is stopping me too! To date, I do not own any LEDs, but I am watching them being used very closely! (That left over burn from paying for the computer revolution still hurts!) Something about buying things for $1000 now, and seeing the price drop to $300 in a year or two for bigger and better still haunts me
