Blue on RGB will not turn off?

how much brighter wouls it be? i see how red would be but only 5ohm on green & blue doesnt seem like it would effect much? On top of the fact that it would take me around 2 or three hours to unheatshrink, desolder, resolder, reheatshrink. its not happening. Is there any way to hook them into WLED even though i dont have a strip?

They are just LEDs. Optimizing their brightness and life is not making you live longer or happier… Up to you how much you spend time. If you are ok, just leave them like that.

I have used Wled only with addressable LEDs, but if it works with common strips, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with yours.

Ps. Happy to hear about your soldering improvements!
