Lighting consumes 4% of the energy consumed by a building. Control strategies that turn lights on when the space is occupied are one energy savings strategy. In this problem, we’ll calculate the energy impact of a lighting schedule. For the purposes of this problem, a neopixel is a single LED. A neopixel strip is a group of LEDs. A) Measure the current draw of your neopixel strip of 5 LEDs when all 5 lights are powered on, set to full brightness, with each RGB color set to 255. Report your answer in units of amps. B) Calculate the power consumption of your 5 neopixel strip when connected to a 5V source using the current measured in part A. Report your answer in units Watts.
