We made a light with 6 different colours and we are operating the LED's through DMX and everything is working fine. When i am checking the total wattage it is coming 57W but i am using 50W watt driver and Wattage at LED point is 38Watt but in meter it is showing 20 watt more when iam checking the circuit watage it is 1 Watt

Power factor is 0.68.

I am using LRS 50-12 meanwell driver as my input voltage is 12 Volts. All LED's are 0.5 Watt and 2.5 - 3 Volt LEDs
