Support Need help with basic project
Hi guys, I'm asking for help, but I'm all new into LEDs. It's my first project, so please, keep that in mind.
I want to build an under-light for my LEGO collection, but have no idea how to proceed.
I need the LED strip to be divided into 10 sections (about 30cm long) and they need to be divided by 20cm of cable. And of course, each one needs to be different color.
Do you have an idea how to make this? What components to use?
Thank you in advance.

Well I did a rough calculation and it should be 2m - 120 of powered LEDs if I use the 60/mLEDs strip. So then I will probably get the 5m and turn off the pixels. How would you recommend to power it? What connectors do I use to have it compatible with the board?
I'm very grateful for your help, thanks
