I’ve been looking at something like this myself, did you use RGB, RGBW, RGBWW, RGBCCT or what to dynamically set the warmth of the light? I got really confused when I started looking into all these different types

I used rgb but would like to try RGBW in the future because to get bright white on the current strip it consumes about 60 mA (@5v) per led. That's 20 mA for R, G, and B.

I have two rows of 32 lights, so a beefy supply was needed along with a few places where VIN was fed to the strip.
