As you pointed out, the second doesn't give any Vf or I values.
Also, I was hoping to learn what the light output was at a few points for amperage input. Lower amperage means longer lifespan and less power for LEDs. In particular, the blue LED is typically the dimist in a package, so I'd like to balance it with the other colors for more accurate results.
Granted, I can eyeball it, but I'd prefer a more scientific method.
The cheap LEDs have no datasheets because they are not made by a Name-Brand manufacturer and they probably mix poor quality LEDs having poor spec's together with better LEDs. They do not say or do not know who makes the cheap things.
Why do you want to buy this cheap junk?

Thanks for the information. I thought all (lower power) modern LED chips were standardized/created equal. That is to say, you really couldn't make it much cheaper than it already was.
I buy Name-Brand high quality Philips Luxeon Lumileds from the reputable American electronics parts distributor Digikey.
I do not but cheap Chinese shoes, clothing or no-name-band electronic junk from AliExpress in China.
A huge difference.

Yes, in the battery thread I said that the very old type of batteries in the lights were garbage and rusted away in a couple of months. I bought the lights locally.
In other threads I said that the cheap Chinese LDRs and some of the cheap Chinese solar panels on the cheap solar garden lights were also cheap garbage.
I replaced the garbage parts with high quality local parts then the lights last for many years.
Buk, your cost comparisons are for very poor, uneducated, unemployed, homeless people who must buy cheap garbage Chinese junk.
I buy high quality electronic parts and products because money grows on trees for me.
Most of the reliable and high quality parts and products I buy locally are not expensive. My valuable time is not wasted with fake and defective parts and products sold cheaply online "over there".
Automatically condemning anything originating from the 'Far East' as "defective" "junk", is almost as dumb as believing that Covid vaccinations are a government conspiracy.
You are obviously not 'dumb'; so what is it that drives you to post your xenophobic crap all over?
That Far Eastern, mail-order bride you purchased, must have really done a number on you...
When I was a teenager, anything "made in Japan" was cheap and shoddy. Today, things made in Japan are considered quality goods. Twenty years ago China produced a lot of cheap junk. Not so now. The "quality" components from reputable suppliers are more than likely made in the same Chinese factories. I have bought lots of quality goods from China.
I said this on AAC and I'll say it here... The Chinese DO produce extremely good products.. BUT!! Ye ol' westerners have specifications... All products that do not meet those specs are sold out of the back door... Most are okay, but a good majority are not...
This isn't a Chinese thing but companies in China flogging the old rubbish...
We bought some oil seals and we were told only 60% would meet the grade... We received 100% of the product and sorted it ourselves and guess what around 40% were unusable.. BUT!! at least we could throw them away..
It's no different to the """Untested""" IC packs that such as Tandy / Radio Shack used to sell in the 70s & 80s - manufacturers rejects.
They could vary from being so fractionally out of spec that no one other than the manufacturer could ever tell, to being totally dead.
As long as you were (and are) aware of what you are buying, they were generally good value - just like all the cheap stuff from China, it may not alway be perfect but it's often incredible for the price.
