So i ordered more lights from here - https://www.lightailing.com/ and they just came in recently.

Chinese company that probably supply some of the more well known light kits. Cost me about 1/2 the price and the components look similar.

I'm going to spend some time over the next couple of weeks hooking them up. I re-arranged my modulars around recently. First part will be doing the street lights and seeing how that goes.

Shipping took about a month to come in. Honestly I ordered it knowing there was a chance it might not even show up.

The idea is to hook up these lights - https://www.lightailing.com/collecti...arm-white-30cm

to these boards - https://www.lightailing.com/collecti...rds-three-pack

which hook up to this USB connector - https://www.lightailing.com/collecti...sb-power-cable

You use these as interconnects when necessary - https://www.lightailing.com/collecti...0cm-three-pack

Which you then connect to a USB battery pack or hub of your choice.

You can probably save some money over ordering the kits. I find the kits overly bright as they light up too many things. Moving forward I would only order the Dot lights and not the strip lights.

If I was more handy, I would cut the wire lengths to size.
