PayPal is not going to hold funds until I say I've received the item.  I've also seen people not get refunded after receiving an item that did not work.  I hope you can sleep well knowing that I like to use aliexpress.  I don't care which method you guys use.

By the way I'm sure you don't know what I meant in my post.  It had nothing to do with your post.  I  have no idea who you are.

Besides being a great devleoper, Gil likes to keep all of us on our toes.  I get a lot of smiles from some of his comments and wish I could be that snappy with answers.

Are most people buying the 20awg pixels grom Ray? I've always bought the 18awg from US based vendors and curious of the difference I would see if any. Or Amy con's of the smaller guage.

I confess that I have never looked at the wire gauge of any of my pixels I've bought from Ray.  I can tell you that everything has worked great.  I use a mix of TM1804 and WS2811, mostly WS2811 on all my newer stuff.  I run 12 v and have lots of strings of 120 nodes with no issues and one of 128 nodes that is 4 yrs old and still works great.  I also have never done power injection although I am finally thinking about it for a couple of Boscoyo Chromabulbs that use 143 nodes and that I want to run using a Pi hat   YMMV, Just my 2 cents.

I also have enjoyed this thread and get a kick out of all the witty banter.

All 20,000 ws2811 pixels that i have purchased direct thru Ray, have come with 20awg wire. I run 5V pixels. I run my lights at 100% (i just tested 50% this week and will probably falcon controllers to 50% next year).  I have always loved power injection (ok, nobody loves power injection, but i like the idea of running 12V less).  I inject at the 100th pixel, no issues. I remember ordering some pixels with 18 AWG wire and they made minimal difference in voltage drop.

Power Injection

Sure just had to go there.
    Everyone make more out of it than it really is.
  I power inject everything no thoughts given 
 I run no power through my controller, just to run the controller its self.
That includes my receiver boards...........
