Over-engineering an RGB LED strip: let’s make a custom programming language

On a sidenote: Can anyone recommend decent quality LED strips on Aliexpress or Ebay (I'm not in the US)? Points of interest would be:

* reproducable (when buyin two 10m strips of the same product, LED colors should match)

* lean (I read some reviews (Amazon), where the buyer experienced one or two LEDs in the strip having a different color temperature)

* etc.

I mainly want to equip the bottom edge of the kitchen cupboards with these, so I have better lighting, when cooking on the cutting board below them. I don't need animation, just good light, ideally in different color temperatures and hues (dimmable). Thanks.

I have the Govee ones and they work fairly well. Can work with Alexa and Google Home and they have their own app too (in addition to a built in physical control).
