I see now that all of the LEDs are connected in parallel withOUT separate current limiting resistors. The bad thing about this is that each string of LEDs has a different vorward voltage, and the one string with the lowest forward voltage will hog the current and overheat, and prematurely fail. But then I guess that really doesn't matter if these are cheap hong kong LEDs, because they will all be dim and worthless in just a few hundred hours anyway.
