hi,
please help me out with what i need to buy in order to have ambilight-alike working setup.

on an old thread i've seen this:

• 50PCS WS2801 RGB Full Color 12mm Pixels digital Addressable LED String DC 5V
  
• EU 5V 8A Power supply AC to DC Adapter for WS2811 WS2801 HL8806 LED String Light
  

is it correct or i need smth else or smth additional to this items?

kind regards

p.s RPi is running Linux (OSMC, if that matters).

Pay attention specifically to the issues about 3.3v vs 5v on the GPIO data line (note this is completely separate from the voltage on the power supply that you bought).

You *may* need a buffer to step up the GPIO voltage to 5V to drive the lights. Obviously you'll either need some solder and wires or if you have a pin header on the Rpi, some female jumper wires.
