[QUOTE="i13, post: 80503, member: 21708"] The first strip is a nice cheap option and it is easy to work with, it's what I use. You may as well get it cheaper from this listing [url=http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/promotion-5m-DC12V-WS2811-150LEDs-10pixes-m-led-digital-strip-waterproof-in-silicon-tube-IP66-WHITE/701799_32493161338.html]http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/promotion-5m-DC12V-WS2811-150LEDs-10pixes-m-led-digital-strip-waterproof-in-silicon-tube-IP66-WHITE/701799_32493161338.html[/url] The second has an extra epoxy fill which will make it less flimsy than the others but harder to join into different lengths or to repair if a pixel dies. Resin can discolour but not enough to affect light output and I don't know if the tubing stops that happening to this strip or not. The third has built-in DC-DC converters to accept the 12V input but otherwise it is a 5V strip. The converters should let you get longer distances without power injection compared to an ordinary 5V strip. The 5V properties mean you have individual control of every RGB LED while the first two strips you listed have them in groups of 3. This means a higher resolution but a higher channel count. No-one seems to know whether it can only be cut every metre or whether you can cut it wherever you want as long as you have sufficient DC-DC converters in the section that you want to use. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
