I'm working on several medium sized LED projects and am curious if anyone has a guide or links to buying WS2812 or similar strands.
I've bought a ~10 of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZHB9M6A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZHB9M6A/ref=oh_aui_sear... but I would love to find a slightly cheaper source. Alibaba seems to sell them at half the cost but product titles, photos, and descriptions don't ever seem to match
- nicoburns 8y agoEbay is worth considering for these too.

- StavrosK 8y agoThey have 5m spools of 60 LED/meter strips for $25 here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/WS2812B-Strip-LED-Lights-5050-RGB-30-60-144-LED-M-IC-Individual-Addressable-DC5V/262452005540?epid=1561134077&hash=item3d1b5bcaa4%3Am%3AmkMwXOyKYoE3TxVrA-ee05w&var=561255461869 https://www.ebay.com/itm/WS2812B-Strip-LED-Lights-5050-RGB-3...
- zaarn 8y agoWS2812 LED Strips on AliExpress/Alibaba/BangGood are sorta okay. I've got a few of them at home, some of them have LED's shortcircuited after they failed. To some extend you get what you pay for but they're good enough for most purposes (and if they go too much kaputt you can replace them with another one for the same low price) and fairly bright too (about 0.25A of LED per meter and 30LED/m density)
- pixelface 8y agoray wu on aliexpress/ebay(I think?) has a good reputation and is widely used
