60leds/m ws2811 strip

Hi all
seems I can't re use my arches in their current form from my last display as they are just way too large , so I'm going to cut them down however I was thinking of putting more dense strip in them 60leds/m 20pcs IC ws2811 as oppsed to the 30leds/m 10 pcs IC per metre looking at this
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/192...99&spm=2114.12010615.8148356.7.6ca61de5le7nAo
but just wondering what is the distance between the cutting points if anyone has some if they could measure it please?
(I know it's every 3 leds as per the old strip about every 100mm but as it's more dense is it about every 50mm?)

or is there something better to use inside the tube ?

thanks in advance
Matt

If you're going to a higher density then you're potentially better off going to 2812 5V strip which will allow you to cut at every led.
The 60 led/metre 12V will still be cuttable every 3rd led which will mean every 50mm.
There's also a 12V single led per cut strip. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...LED-strip-60leds-m-5m/701799_32864060878.html

thanks Alan the cuttable every led 12v looks like maybe what I want I've found it in silicone tube on ray's site, trying to keep everything 12v like the say 'more volts is more good'
