And here they are running in xLlights. These are controlled by an ESP8266 running WLED with a 4amp PSU split into 2x2amp runs. View: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TgbDpdPdZsInIMDhFyIuY-vFrC98P785/view?usp=sharing

Oh nice! I’ll give WLED a crack with e1.31. Ironically WLED was on the esp in the first pic 😂 at least I learnt things! 😂

Yep got it working with xlights before the rain hit. Does 130 pixels no issues. I did try ESPixelStick but their flash tool would not work. I ended up using the underlying e1.31 lib from ForkInTheEye as it’s Example sketch had everything. So no coding in the end 😂 And I use WLED and tasmota...

yeah my plan was to use the PSU supplied and just run them off an ESP8266 with some e1.31 -> NeoPixel code Then its not connected to any of the big stuff. And the default setup had 'All White', hopefully she'll be right for power injection, we shall see how it goes at 100% output though.

yeah ill have to have a look. The default controller was definetly dimmer compared to 100% output on FPP. This is the pixel, I see melted cables in my future :p The supplied PSU is 2A 10W

not to sure, I cant see the chip as its a tiny, opaque bulb (i wasnt convinved there was an IC in there its so small). Ill do some tests later tonight and see what I can come up with. Is there an easy way to tell?

And no issues from a RasPI-28D running FPP at 5V

Grabbed these from Bunnings as I saw they had a 3 wire interface. Solid win, this is connected to an ESP8266 running the FastLED demo but it works, they are some kind of WS281* chip at 5V Ill drop them onto the PiHat running FPP shortly. $99 - not to bad considering its getting to late to order...
