Review on 🌈 HJHX Individually Addressable LED Strip - 5V, 3.3ft 144Pixels/m, SMD5050 RGB Magic Color Programmable Rope Lights - IP30 Non-Waterproof, Black FPCB by Steve Yatnalkar

The first strip I ordered was fine until I assumed the label on the LED controller said 5V-24V meant I could give it a voltage range. I gave it about 12V from a LiPo battery and fried my strip. But I bought the second band and a 12V-24V to 5V DC buck converter with 15A max and the bar worked fine. I used this LED strip and LED controller for my Halloween project which was a replica of the Deadmau5 head (with many wired modifications of the original strip). I'm still planning on adding custom animation to my LED strip using the T-1000S LED controller, but just wanted to share that it was my fault when I roasted the first LED strip and my second strip worked perfectly . The LEDs are very bright and none of my pixels were dead on arrival. It should be noted that the spacing between each LED is not always ideal as multiple strips are joined together to form a full 5M strip.
