They did say:

"the part looks like an LED array, meaning that, rather than a single =20
emitter, the LED packages up several tiny LED chips in one package and =20
cover them with a single phosphor. It=92s a good choice to use such a =20
diffused light source =96 no pixilation."

And go on to point to a "guess" of a 9.3V/720mA LED part (though =20
that's not as much as you say the chip wants, even if they're in =20
series.  Perhaps they're a special version.)

At the moment, the most interesting thing is the price point ($20?!)  =20
I could tear some of those down just to get big LEDs and still be =20
ahead of the game, I think...
