New RGB node from Ray?

Not sure about the naming convention. The TM1804 kinda blows your theory, since it has 3 outputs.

The chip manufacturer made a TM1803, and wasn't happy with the result. then came out with the 1804 doing what they wanted. it's just a part number.

That all looks familiar now. When I read it before, I didn't have any SS plans.

But - I didn't have any plans to cut at 72 pixels and continue the string. In fact, I was planning to custom order from Ray in 72 pixel lengths. Does Ray do that? Would he prefer (or require) ordering in 75 pixel lengths for custom cuts?

Ordering a sufficient number of 4 meter strips and cutting them myself would be potentially very wasteful (time spent splicing and money for unused pixels)

wasteful, maybe.  but consider having them as spares to splice into the strings/strips for repair.

[chrisatpsu]

the best way to find out is just ask him.

[JonB256]

I did ask Ray. He will cut and ship them in 75 pixel lengths (2.5 meters).

Cost would be just under $30 per strip, and just under $50 to ship the 18 strips I'd need for my project (16 strips and 2 spares)

The 4 meter strips are listed as $48 ($12 per meter), so he isn't charging any extra for the shorter strips.

[chrisatpsu]

will they have the leads soldered on?

[JonB256]

I'll ask - but do the 4 meter ones come with wire soldered on?
Who has actually ordered them? and how did they come if you didn't specify?
