What's the Best Currently Available Strip for a Self build?

[DukeFluke]

Hello folks, hope everyone's doing ok.

As the title says, what's the strip of choice these days for a self build? I previously used Bridgelux BXEB series but they're not stocked on Future Elec anymore it seems

What's the most efficient on the market atm? Samsung Evo?

I Need them in 4ft. That's about it really

Thanks in advance people

Have you tried a other distributors?

Where to Buy | Bridgelux, Inc. LED Lighting

I had prices beating all the global distributors from my local distributor but it had to get a big bunch of them.
4feet means either samsung or bridgelux afaik, and samsung is leaving the led market.

Why not use 2x 2 foot strips?

It's more wiring, but shorter strips with some with space between them can reduce the center hotspot a little.

Shorter strips means more of them, easier to reach moq or price breaks aswell
