LED Marquee - where to buy?
«

The last time I bought a LED strip, it was from Amazon (here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OP3P0QW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
)
I know they can be bought much cheaper on ebay, can you guys share a link with me? Is this what I want?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5M-3528-5050-5630-LED-Strip-Cool-White-Waterproof-300-or-600-LEDs-Light-Flexible-/301404124410?pt=US_String_Lights_Fairy_Lights&var=&hash=item462d15f4fa?
I will have access to 5v and 12v power supply. The marquee area is around 24" wide. I don't mind doing some soldering or wiring, but would prefer as much of a plug and play solution as possible.

Here's some 30cm (approx 12 inch) 15 led strips for $0.99
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-LED-30cm-Car-Motor-Vehicle-Flexible-Waterproof-Strip-Light-5-color-M2-/141473300799?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item20f077413f
Or if you want true plug and play for $1.03 they have these with Mol;ex connections already on the wire :

)
OR if you do not need them waterproof and prefer a larger roll - here's a 5 Meter 300 led strip for $3.79 shipped -

Anyone ever put entire LED strips in their jukebox? Ive got a R92 with these horrible 11watt bulbs and a shotty light controller. I was thinking about installing a LED Music Controller:
http://www.amazon.com/Cooligg-Aluminum-Sensor-Controller-Remote/dp/B00FTX1V9W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1423286858&sr=8-4&keywords=led+light+controller+music
Here is a demo of it:
This particular model needs no input as it has a built-in mic (awesome) works wirelessly (not IR, but radio controlled so it can be hidden) and remembers your last setting on shut-off. My only problem is the draw: two strips=6amp.
Thoughts?
