Macros
#define	FASTLED_INTERNAL
	Disables pragma messages and warnings.
#define	POWER_LED   1
	Debug Option: Set to 1 to enable the power limiting LED.
#define	POWER_DEBUG_PRINT   0
	Debug Option: Set to enable Serial debug statements for power limit functions.

Functions
uint32_t	calculate_unscaled_power_mW (const CRGB *ledbuffer, uint16_t numLeds)
	Determines how many milliwatts the current LED data would draw at max brightness (255)
uint8_t	calculate_max_brightness_for_power_vmA (const CRGB *ledbuffer, uint16_t numLeds, uint8_t target_brightness, uint32_t max_power_V, uint32_t max_power_mA)
	Determines the highest brightness level you can use and still stay under the specified power budget for a given set of LEDs.
uint8_t	calculate_max_brightness_for_power_mW (const CRGB *ledbuffer, uint16_t numLeds, uint8_t target_brightness, uint32_t max_power_mW)
	Determines the highest brightness level you can use and still stay under the specified power budget for a given set of LEDs.
uint8_t	calculate_max_brightness_for_power_mW (uint8_t target_brightness, uint32_t max_power_mW)
	Determines the highest brightness level you can use and still stay under the specified power budget for all sets of LEDs.
void	set_max_power_indicator_LED (uint8_t pinNumber)
	Select a pin with an LED that will be flashed to indicate that power management is pulling down the brightness.
void	set_max_power_in_volts_and_milliamps (uint8_t volts, uint32_t milliamps)
	Set the maximum power used in milliamps for a given voltage.
void	set_max_power_in_milliwatts (uint32_t powerInmW)
	Set the maximum power used in watts.
void	show_at_max_brightness_for_power ()
	Similar to CFastLED::show(), but pre-adjusts brightness to keep below the power threshold.
void	delay_at_max_brightness_for_power (uint16_t ms)
	Similar to CFastLED::delay(), but pre-adjusts brightness to keep below the power threshold.
