DIY 5050 RGB Strips for floods, wall washers, or anything

[fathead45]

Well i know with all the rgb coming out everyone is looking at all the options. Here is another for ya. This one used 12 5050 RGB leds on a 18in pcb. Runs on 12v or 24v. There was a group buy 2 years ago on these and i jumped in on some but i wish i bought more at the time lol. These lil suckers are really bright. most people i show them to are impressed. I plan to add another 60 to my display as there is finally another group buy running on these. Awesome part is they go pretty quick with the skillet and in no time you have them built.

My video of 5 of them on my trailor - it is 75ft long and the last 15ft is the only part not lit up.

Does anybody know how to get these PCB's since the group buy is already closed? I missed this before and have a project that this would work for and I already have the RGB modules for them.
