Hi and Mahlzeit,

I'm new to Arduino and very hopeful that it's the right tool to help me realize the following project: I just want to control three or more high power leds seperatly. Which board might be ideal for my needs?

Thanks!

If, by control, you mean turn them on and off, then any board will allow you to toggle three transistors or relays.

Some links to the "high power leds" and some details on "control" would be useful.

By 'control' I mean programming color fading, diming etc. 'high power led' means by example a 3x1 Watt rgb led.
I was inspired by the following video: http://player.vimeo.com/video/27165267

So, you need a board with 9 or more PWM pins. The Mega has 15 PWM pins, so you could have 5 RGB LEDs showing different colors at once.

The DUE has 12 PWM pins, so 4 RGB LEDs at different colors.
