        No, because the only time it's using any system resources is when it's adjusting to a different color. So, the only way it can increase battery power usage is if you're frequently changing the color temperature (and/or color effects).

        Once it's set to a color or color effect, it's no longer using any system resources and therefore not using any extra battery power. It's not actually using any system resources in order to maintain the color temperature or color effect.
