InternetMessiahSorry, I didn't notice the reply until now (new endorsement on my post above drew my attention to this).
Unfortunately, we moved to a new house and I left the table as a condition of the sale. The buyers liked it that much, lol.
I've actually just started another one, but my limited time makes this take quite a while. Plus, I'm very particular about the colors, finish, etc.
That being said, I'll link to a Google drive folder with some pictures of the current build. I will try to update it as I progress.

AtriumXPAdded some more photos of current state... I've got the actual table built now and the playing surface is installed. I still haven't completed the rails, which will house both the cup holders and the LED lighting. Plus there is some wiring that needs to happen so I can run power to the table. I'm planning to also install USB charging outlets at each player position, for phones and such.

AtriumXPThat's some good thinking and makes sense on a logistical level and wiring would be a hell of a lot easier than the crap that's on amazon but I'd be off on voltage aspect. What rail are you running these off of? Good post though it reminds me that I need to pick up a volt meter and a better solder right now.

If you do not need the app-controlled features, the LED strips themselves and power supplies are easily available online or direct from China at much lower cost (and available for different applications, such as waterproofed installation).
Also, anyone wiring these for a custom install should understand there is a functional limitation to how many lights can be powered by one power supply. These sort of lighting usually maxes out around two reels of continuous strip (you can solder reels together with simple speaker wire). One solution I found for this was to instead wire them directly to an old computer power supply. They already run at the correct voltage so there's no need for the transformer you see on the wall plug. Then you just run your connections from the individual rails. You can even wire the entire project to a single on/off switch at the PSU level if you like.
For anoyone curious, I used mine in a custom gaming table, where each player's seating used a different color (sort of like a game show, lol). I ran each strip to a specific seating, along the inside edge of the table (so the lights shine outward, onto the table's surface). Each seating has its own on/off control so I can deaden (on/off) a given player's lights by pressing a button. My setup lacks the bluetooth controller box though - it's all manual. The RGB effects use a wireless remote control for set-up.
