Nice!
How are the strips wired?
Is it a single strip or several connected?

Single strip

Nah my Cloud runs on Mac like a true boss

But on serious note I picked apart cotton balls for 3 days straight

did you treat them with anything to make them less flammable? I've always been put off the idea of these as it feels risky to surround a bunch of warm leds with an insulating and excitingly flammable substance. I am probably just being paranoid though

When I did my cloud project for my daughter I used poly batting that is used in pillows. I used spray adhesive to hold it together. https://youtu.be/2iHO2uE0o0M

Ngl I've been monitoring and running em non stop only a preset to dim at night and it hasn't heated up to the point it burns my hands or feel more hot then stuff in my room already

Good point.. looking around at the rats nest of wires I have near by, it's probably less dangerous than that
