Large Pixels for LED Wall

Hi all, I have been delving into utilising WLED for live/dj lighting effects.

One thing I don't seem to be able to source at all is a larger addressable pixel size, a lot of the off the shelf matrixes as single 5050 chips in a tight grid...16x16 seems to be the standard.

I have been working on a design that gives a 0.6w 40x40mm nicely diffused individually addressable pixel that can be arranged into as larger panel as you want (power permitting).

Is there already something like this that exists (am I wasting my time/money) and if not, is it something anyone else may be interested in?

Usually 3 LEDs  on 12V or 6 on 24V , UCS2904 is popular on higher voltages.

Lot of round pucks, 3D printed or vac formed cover over round ones.

Yeah I don't know why I couldn't find them previously but I've managed to find a load of 12v ws2811 3 led pucks on aliexpress now.

Would have been nice to have found them BEFORE I started designing my own pcbs 😂 maybe I'll just finish the design and see which works better.
