Help with LED wiring - don't want to fry my eyebrows off!

[Jord]

So I’ve picked up some 24v COB LED strips that I want to wire into a quad. I’m going to wire into the battery voltage on the ESC, just wondering what’s the best and safest way to do it? See rough examples below that I think are feasible.

Single spare from vBat into a BEC/distribution board, then spare from BEC into individual strips:

Or…
Spare from vBat spliced into two channels and daisy chain:

Also how crazy can I really go with the daisy chaining? The strips spec around 5W/m. Guessing depends on how many Amps the strips are pulling?

Thanks for any help!

Either will work depends on how neat you can get it.

Question is does the whole of the northwest need lighting up everytime you fly.
