The use of high voltage means that for a given current you can run a lot of the material. The main limitation will be the internal buss wires and their spike based connections. The video also shows how offcuts can be used with the addition of just four diodes as a fixed colour strip pre-wired for red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow or white. Noting that the white isn't a nice white and will also reduce the lifespan of the strip thermally. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
