Tested it both on SPI ports and regular with same results on two different ones.
Used macetecs demo code and tintbrite lib, none working.<p>I'm totally lost!</p></p>

I have single LED's that run at 14,000 mcd on 20mA. If you were to look directly into their beam, you will see a floating magenta spot for a minute or so.<p>As far as the combined output goes, a candela is the measurement of light as perceived by the human eye. It is roughly equal to the brightness of a single candle. When dealing with these units, you simply add them up. As such 3*35,000 mcd = 105,000 mcd.</p></p>

I'd love to see it expressed in lumens, actually, so I can compare with other high brightness LEDs.<br>
It is alternately stated as "each LED" supplying ~35,000 mcd at 120 degrees (equal to 110 lumens for just that arc) and 40,000 mcd over 140 degrees (a whopping 165 lumens for each of the three LEDs!).<br>
I am pretty sure that these figures are not correct.<br>
Alternatively, I could look up the LED manufacturer's specs on the individual lamps, if someone knows the LED manufacturer and model numbers.</p>

Since each LED is no more than 1/2 watt, it would not work well as a bicycle headlight. However, it would definitely provide a very bright direct-view light source for accent lighting.</p>
