Is This A Good Deal?

I found this these WS2812b lights. Is WS2812b the same as WS28112 individually addressable RGB lights? If it is the same stuff, I will get some.

Post the link so we can see what they are. Not trying to scoop them up from you

The 5v WS2812b uses the 2811 protocol. I have several strips in my display this year. Each module is addressable, 150 Pixels per strip, 450 total channels. The 12v, I am reasonably sure are 50 pixels per strip in groups of 3. That one would be 150 total channels or 50 RGB Channels.

 

I'm at work so I can't look at the link, so the 12v, I'm giving an educated guess.

The first one appears to be a lot of 1000 IC's only so you would be wiring together on your own. The second one is more standard but way too expensive. Yeah, 100 meters of lights which which means about $27 per 5M string. You might should contact Ray Wu and look in his online store but talk to him about a better shipping quote.
