- WS2812B.
- Nice brands: ALITOVE or BT-Lighting. (The latter is available on Ali Express too.)
- Might need multiple power supplies depending on the length of the lights.
- Lights usually take DC and will dictate output voltage of the adapter you need to buy.
- 0.02 amps per LED is safe. (Max requirement is thrice that.) Power adapter should obviously support a higher number.
- 30 LEDs per meter: 150 LEDs * 0.02 == 3 amps total.
- 60 per meter -> 300 LEDs -> 6 amps total.
- Alitove good brand.
