Hi all!
I’m trying to build a rather large light(20 feet). WS2812B’s are the only thing I have experience with, and we all know how hard it is to work with the 5 volts. I ran across these and wondered if anyone had used them before?

The bad part is that you can only cut them every third pixel, but they’re 24 volts, which will definitely solve the problem. Does anyone know of another solution???

Thanks guys

You can get 2812’s or equivalent in 12 vdc. Lots of options. For example:

@Mike_Katchmar Thank you.
How do the WS2811’s compare brightness wise with the 2812B’s?
