@Drunk Octopus any 5050 (24V) RGBs probly

I can get a NOOK for $50 and a Kindle for $70-$80 but kobos are super expensive

depends what you want from the lightstrip

RGB, waterproof not necessary (will just be under kitchen cabinets), bonus points for some form of control from my phone, and since this is CSG, not expensive

(ofc real answer is high cri (90+), 5050 (industrial highcri option for that 800 lumens),high HZ for smooth as fuck color change, etc)

Also just to make it more annoying, this is my first foray into this sort of lighting

but if its indirect mood light you can get 5050 with 170-500 lumens per foot

i dont suggest using "Internet of Shit" app lights as they are veryveryvery shittily protected

just one with the "manual (read remote)" controller

Gotcha.

how much of cabling we are talking about

4 or 40 meters

closer to 4

I'm starting off with just some accent lights for the kitchen

Not trying to line my apartment witth it

you want it color changing or stabile X color ?

Suggestions on both, because I think i could use the color changing for holiday lights

I don't want it to be one color all the time if thats what you mean. The ability to change the color is what I'm looking for

I've considered looking at smart lights from Ali et al but I get a weird feeling connecting chink products to my wifi like that

are you planning using diffuser (smoother light (no spots) but you need more lumens for same effect)

aka just sanded plexiglass or such in front of leds

wondering about that beginer suitable so you get nice looking from it too

if you want "install and use" style of setup anything 5050 RGB what is manufactured by "epistar" is safe bet

and sure ali "certifications" mean jack shit

but CE,RoHS,CCC is always good to have

Hm, got a Pi Zero from my brother today.

Yeah install and use setup is best for right now, and if I like the way it comes out I might go more into it

ironic

Any chinky addons I need for it?

earlier we were talking about paracord and the paracord i ordered like 3 weeks ago came in

and for when you want to go more into it @Drunk Octopus "neopixel" is the searchterm from adafruit.- those cost way more but are way fancier and smooth as fuck

@Windatica Anything else you're waiting for that you'd like us to summon for you?

yeah, one cheeseburger and small fries

One AliBurger coming up. ♋

the buns are 7d mangos

7days old or 7-dimensional mangos

order date: october 29
arrival date: november 14
pretty good

can you get a custom print bandana on ali?

2 weeks? That's most excellent.

yes if you pay extra (ala : @ОБОЛОНЬ#5704 )

Isn't that only if you want Genji butts on it though?
