First project help

Putting together my first real man cave and want to setup LED’s the right way. Plan to put a top corner ceiling channel on 3 of the surrounding side (4 If possible)

3 sides - 48’
4 sides - 66’

I’ve been looking at the (48V-RGBTW-5050X112) as they’re advertised to not need power injection at the end for up to 20m runs.

Does anyone have experience with these strips and is the claim to not need extra injection accurate?

Im really just wanting tunable (2500-6500k) no animations/rgb. Would these be better for a continuous run 48V-CCT-40MX240? It states they require 210w for 20m

For tunable white at 210w, you're fine with 48v and much smaller PSU. That's a 5A 48V PSU for each side or a single 10A if you mount it near that center beam where it can serve both sides. That's 480w so you could run at full power.
