What Power supply would you recommend for these LEDS?

I am building a 16x16x16 LED cube, much like Malt Whiskey’s on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciaFar8nfHc&t=835s

I am using different LEDs (the top-hat version): https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832645784910.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.17.1f631802S6pJkE&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa#nav-specification

In the Youtube video Malt used 4 power supplies of 5v @60 Amps each. I’m assuming my LEDs will require the same power?

Anyway, what power supply would you recommend? I looked at LED drivers but can’t find any that offer 60 amps. I prefer Meanwell power supplies but not really sure the difference is between their different series.

Thanks!

Hello,
Welcome to the Digikey tech forum. We have these power supplies that would fullfill the 5 VDC at 60 amps or more on the output but using different LED’s can cause issues. Forward voltages and current requirements are not the same for LED’s . You would need to calculate your power requirements from the LED’s you are going to use to be sure you select the proper power supply.
