High-density WS2812 or WS2813 strips - you got any?

Hey folks, before I take the plunge on AliExpress, just wanted to ask if anyone here has high-density 144/meter WS2812 or WS2813 strips I could buy from them. Maybe some of you have scraps from a previous project?

WS2813 is like WS2812 but has a better refresh rate.

I need 6 meters (specifically, 207 inches) for a project I’m working on. Let me know what you’ve got!

I think I have a foot or two of it but nowhere near 6 meters. Not at that density, anyway

What are you considering high density?
I think I have a 10m spool of what I consider fairly dense, but I want to say it’s 5 volt so you’d need to power tap in a few locations if you want to get the correct colors and brightness through the whole length.

The density I’m after is 144 per meter, the densest they tend to sell on AliExpress or Amazon. Here’s the aesthetic I’m going for:

And here’s a handy comparison of 30 vs. 60 vs. 144 LEDs per meter:

I guess the other thing I should specify is it’d be good if the strip is black so it matches the black bezel of the TV, or else I’ll need to spend a lot of time with a sharpie :laughing:

Thanks!

Darn…I have black backed 60/m, but the only 144/m I have is in rope form.
