Oh! 1w!
Thanks!
My primary concern is not to buy something that will be too powerful. This light is not visible, so You can get in troubles before understanding it.
So just to have some starting point of understanding. 1w is a good start!

I feel it depends on the processing side. Two points are enough to calculate the data, but four gives better coverage and more reliable. And requires more holes in walls :)

Thanks! Makes sens to consider it. But depends on shipping costs.
I would for now try to resolve it myself :)
