Exactly what I was looking for
For High Power RGB LED Shield I2C - 12bit/ch. dimming
If you need to control high-power LEDs, there are a few products out there that can help you, but things get messy fast if you need to deal with multiple channels. If the pre-built tools don't meet you needs, the controller chips are available but usually in a form factor that's not easily solderable by the hobbyist (looking at you leadless and BGA only chips...).
This shield, however, was precisely the tool I was looking for: high power, multi-channel LED control, with a built-in power supply that takes most anything you can throw at it. And to make my life even easier, it's all controlled over I2C. I'm using it to control a triad of 3W RGB LEDs for a costume.
Documentation is great, but mostly I was looking for the library to fork & modify for my project.
EDIT: Thanks for reminding me! Here's a link to the forked source on github. Probably nothing useful to the general audience yet, but feel free to rip out whatever you need! Open source FTW. ^_^

Will update with pics when I get it presentable.

Hi Sean. Thank you for this glowing review!
You mention that you modified the library. If you think the modifications would be interesting and useful for a wider audience, please share the code.
