I'm currently exploring options to set up a production status display board with 18 rows and 21 collumns of lights.
The lights are going to be either red (behind time), green (ahead of time) or blue (on time) and the number of lights switched on or off on each collumn depends on the number of days ahead or behind.
I have come to two possible options
1: A super bright white LED behind a colured diffuser / lens
2: A number (say 7) of super bright 10mm coloured LEDs with no lens to simulate one light.
The max number of lights on at any one time is 270.
Will the one white LED provide enough light?
Will the coloured LEDs use to much power?
I thank you for any insight.
