I had a bit of a buying spree of random LED tapes to keep in general stock for experimental purposes and testing. I got six non-waterproof 5m rolls from an online supplier called tinydeal and one waterproof roll from a UK ebay seller called lucemi-LED.
Interestingly there is a huge variation between the rolls in terms of the current per 5m length at 12V. Red had the highest current, running its LEDs at a full 20mA, while the warm white was running its LEDs at just 6mA. Possibly for longevity.
The waterproof green tape was actually 120 LEDs per metre (600 LEDs per roll) which was nice. especially as I'd ordered the 60 LED per metre version.
