If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
This LED sits upon an aluminum backed PCB to help with heat dissipation but with a 9W total output, additional heat sinking will be required. Additionally, each LED requires an operating voltage of 2.2-2.6V for red, 3.2-3.8V for green, and 3.2-3.8V for blue.

Forward current? Datasheet for previous version of product seems of little help. At 3-watts per channel, I can divide by Vf to get If per channel, but that seems unreliable. At 9-watts per package, a thoughtful datasheet would be useful.

If we use the Picobuck to drive this 3x3 W LED, do we need to modifiy it so each channel can provide about 1 A? Alternatively, can we drive the LED without modifying tje PicoBuck (3x330 mA); will the LED just be less bright?

Skill Level: Competent - You will be required to reference a datasheet or schematic to know how to use a component. Your knowledge of a datasheet will only require basic features like power requirements, pinouts, or communications type. Also, you may need a power supply that?s greater than 12V or more than 1A worth of current. See all skill levels

This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
The information for this product is incorrect - each LED is 1W, for a combined power of 3W for the whole module. It's not 3W per LED as stated above. I have checked this with the manufacturer and they confirm this.

Hi Sparkfun and others,The information for this product is incorrect - each LED is 1W, for a combined power of 3W for the whole module. It's not 3W per LED as stated above. I have checked this with the manufacturer and they confirm this.
From the manufacturer (outside of the datasheet), it looks like the lumens for each channel is: R: 64 lm G: 68 lm B: 10lm
This is the previous version of this product. I am not sure how they compare to each other, but datasheet should give you a general idea of how bright it is.Previous version: Red: (620-630nm) / 30-40LM Green: (520-525nm) / 40-50LM Blue: (455-465nm) / 10-15LM
So much power and light from such a small package. This 3W per channel, Triple Output High Power RGB LED is sure to shed a lot of light on any project you add it to. This LED acts as any other LED except they require much more power while delivering a light as intense of a thousand suns going super nova (this is an exaggeration but you know what we mean)!
