Stores I use regularly

BTF-LIGHTING

I get all my light strips, diode lights, cabling and all other related bits from BTF. Note that NeoPixels are basically WS281x or SK6812. Haven't tried the power supplys yet, but they are on my list.

Passives, boards, screens, bits and bobs, I buy it all off mega if they have it. I've found their products really good.
