Im looking for some dense/close LEDS for some light poi’s im building.
Is there anything >144LED/m?

Look up @Ashley_M_Kirchner_No 's posts here. He’s designed custom boards for very dense LED packing for POV poi.

Mine are about 166/m (it’s really 166 and 2/3), non-flexible (meaning they’re on a hard PCB.)

What type of leds are they Ashley? and how fast are they?

Standard 5050 RGB driven by LPD8806.

Would running two strips of 144/m adjacent, but offset (so the LEDs on strip 2 are between the LEDs on strip 1) work?

Gets you out of doing custom work :wink:

I tried that. At least for my application it didn’t look good. You don’t get sharp edges.

I looked through your page, and your light poi look pretty amazing…
With all that im reading now, it looks like this project is too much for me… :frowning:

Nothing is too much if you tackle it in small, achievable goals. We’re all here to help. Don’t let the magnitude of any project deter your enthusiasm. Just go for it.
