Hey @Donald23173,
6" sounded way too large for the individual strips, so I’ve done a bit of digging.
These descriptions are typically automatically scraped from a supplier’s/developer’s website, and it seems to have been incorrect when we originally scraped it.
On Adafruit’s website, they are listed at a size of ~45mm, a much more believable number. That would make it approx. 12.6m total.
I’ll change the description on our website now, thanks for catching this! And don’t apologise for confirming, it’s a great way for us to catch minor errors just like this one.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
