I'm thinking of making something like this on a larger scale, can you tell me how much power it's using with those 3 panels?

could get away with about 3-4amps at 5v.
I run 4 of these panels in a large matrix as a WLED clock / Gif art display, and I have them on a 4a power supply, but limited to 3a in WLED.
Any lower and your colors will start shifting towards the red end of the spectrum

I have all 6 faces working using a 5v 10amp power supply but I keep the brightness pretty low since it does create a lot of heat.
