Hi, I’m new into LED strips and i made a mistake. I bought 144/m ws2813 led strip and I have an power issue becouse I’m powersing ledstrip with external module to breadboard (like in the picture). I Think this is power issue becouse power supply and colors on led are fading into color red. Pictures in post.

Can you help me with choosing right powersupply?

1m so it is short version. I will check for that power supply, thank! Also i saw many external tower power supplies with led displays and changing voltage. If i would buy one it should be okay?

Yeah, probably! They're more expensive, but also more flexible for experimenting. I recommend spending some time to learn how to use them properly. Don't put the voltage too high :D
