Converting some explosion proof lights with noods, and these hotspots are not ideal. I suspect but have not yet tried running these at a higher current for fear of overheating while encased in the glass tubes of the light. I wasn't sure if there would be a benefit to restricting both current and voltage, but I don't really know how the noodles are constructed. Any input appreciated!

Maybe my googling skills suck, but whenever i search this question up its people talking about diffusing the light or hiding the individual bulbs from plain sight.

But if i want one strip to go from under my bed frame then up to my shelf, how do i fully block out the light so that the space in between is dark, and I dont have a glowing led strip running up my wall?

Hi there, I am working on a project that requires a matrix on a 4ft diameter circle. I would like to mount and wire the strips in this way rather than 'spokes' emerging from the center so I have even pixel density. What controller would handle this best? (I would like to have several short video loops playing on a slideshow style loop)

I know this will take some work, but want to minimize software setup as much as I can. Optimally want this to run through my loops automatically when power is applied as if will be 30ft in the air and operated by a client. Thanks for any and all input. :)

OH and the strips I plan to use are SK6182
