So the LEDs have died again. Typical really, we fixed them up just two days ago replacing another blown unit, but it once again died. These really have been the worst LEDs I have ever encountered, bright and cheap, but completely unreliable.

Therefore its time to start our rebuild. Our APA102 led strips have arrived from aliexpress, 12x 5m strips:

We also got a new 120A 5v supply to run them all since we're going to be driving 1728 (54x32) leds at a max rating of 60ma we're talking just over 100A draw when full white.
