I am quite sure I could put more than two sticks on a single dongle,
but I didn't want to sit down and configure an LVDC distribution panel.
They work fine in pairs, and the power strip is a 'panel' for the
dongles. Same juice ends up getting used either way, though there are
likely a bit more losses on the many dongles method. Making fewer dongle
fight harder is probably a slight bit more efficient. (splitting it on
the DC side).

And you guys call *me* a troll?
I have PCBs with 30 LEDs and limit resistors on it. Powered by a 12V
6W dongle.
I posted a hi res pic of them on flickr.
You connected LEDs and resistors?
