I emailed dave at holidaycoro and he said his chip is ws2811 and that it should work with lynx equipment but I don't know if anyone has used it
Thanks, I missed the first presale so I will probably order them for the second presale(already started) and get them in July instead of May.
if you are ordering 12v ws2811 you could get them cheaper (and sooner) through ray.
all last year Ray sold the 12v ws2811 for $30 for 5m.
The beginning of this year, he dropped the price to $28.
Holiday Coro's presale had them at $27. Dave, correctly, highlighted he was selling them cheaper than the chinese suppliers
a few weeks later Ray lowered his price to $24 for 5m.
After HC presale expired, these flex strips went back up to $35 for 5m. Ray is still selling his for $24 for 5m.
You may know there is now a second chinese supplier that numerous people are going to, paul zhang

Loginhe does not have an aliexpress web page. if you want lights post links to the lights and he will quote price and shipping.
For example I asked Ray for
(10) ws2811 12v, $24
(10) tm1804, 100nodes. $36
shipping $90
Paul Zhang quoted this
(10) ws2811 12v, $24
(10) tm1804, 100nodes. $35
shipping $81
so about 3% less. I have not ordered from paul, but many others have placed orders in the $1-2K range. they have received those orders and are happy.
i think i will stay with ray because of his replacement policy. Ray is certainly slower than Paul at the moment.
I have talked to Ray and he is just now setting up a facebook page to make it easier to communicate with him.
so HC, Ray or Paul, your choice.
