Okay so I am designing a pcb for a project and was going to be using SK6812 leds, from my research I have had issues seeing how people actually wire the power for these, as most of the schematics just say "+5V" and "GND" and don't show the actual wiring from there. I will be using 120 to 132 LEDs, not fully decided on how many but it will be in that range, and while drawing the schematic I realized I wasn't 100% sure I was doing it correctly.
I assume they are supposed to wired in parallel, correct? Seeing as I will be using a 5V/10A brick to power it all, I would need parallel to supply the 5 volts and, need to just run a higher amperage to make sure they light up fully.
How I have these layed out is in a 20x6 (up to a 22x6) matrix would it be fine if I wired the columns and rows like in the below picture where the top wire is +5V and the bottom is GND? Or should I run it so they are in parallel individually, for some reason I can't figure it out when looking at it, as there are so many leds I can't wrap my head around how the power is actually being delivered to them.
