A little lighting project popped into my mind today.
Just starting to look at RGB LED light strips (I need 7m, which I guess means a 10m kit)
From memory, when I looked at these things a while ago, I recall something about many having limitations (some more limited than others) when it came down to what lights could come on and off separate from others.
Or to put it bluntly, the cheap? ones could only do so many effects/patterns as they were connected in banks. or the driving chips were.
I recall something about "Individually Addressable" versions where, I think the controller (or phone app I guess) had total control over everything, and it could do any wild crazy? patterns/routines you could think of.
As I say I'm running from memory some time ago, and have no idea of what's out there other than reading reviews.
Is anyone here into these things, knows what I'm talking about, and could give some quick education on the above?
Many thanks if you can
