    That seems pretty significant to me if you multiply it by however many lights they put in to give it a rainbow effect, then multiplied by every gamer device from RAM to mouse, then multiplied by however many people have these products… I couldn’t find anything reputable online doing any kind of analysis though. Seems hard to calculate

      It’s complicated.

      For reference, a human using a pedal generator can do the work of about .1kwh. So bike for 4 hours and it’ll power that diode for the year.

      But how many are off of solar? Where it’s entirely moot in the end? Yes, the power could be used elsewhere, hence the complicated. But if I’ve got balcony solar, and have excess, what’s wrong with that?
