I'm ready to jump in, I want to make sure I have it right...

I'm finishing a playroom for my kids, I want add LED strips in the ceiling. I've been trolling this sub for awhile as well as watching Chris Maher videos and other various stuff on youtube.

I ordered some LED profiles to go in the drywall

I ordered the GLEDOPTO controller with 4 Outputs and was going to order some 12v SK6812 strips.

The room is about 14'x23' I plan to run about 4 strips running the long way. About 7ish meters each. Do I need power injection?

Can I power the GLEDOPTO directly with the same 14 gauge wire coming from the 15 amp breaker for the ceiling lights?

I tried looking on the calculator on https://www.wled-calculator.com/calculator/ and https://wled-calculator.github.io/ and they're getting a little confusing
