I’d love to find/make some high CRI USB strip lights, anyone done anything similar?

Here’s a thread about high CRI LED strips (12V though, not USB):

High CRI LED Strips from China

I was looking for some high CRI led stripes from China and came across this store: https://ledstriplight.aliexpress.com/store/group/CRI-95-LED-Strip-Light-SMD5630/3628166_1000000228993.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.13f560b5OJJoq6 The store offers 95CRI strips, 90CRI strips, 80CRI strip. Apparently, they know what they are selling. Any one have any inputs about these items?

Also, a thread about DIY with LED strips in general:
