WS2812B....ish? Fairy Icicle lights

Sadly I don’t think they sell them anymore. The last time I looked Avatar still sold icicle lights, but the images did not look the same. They looked like a copied twinkly style. If you are just looking for xLights control you could buy the Twinkly brand icicles, as twinkly does interface with xLights. I don’t think they work with WLED though.

Chances are that any of the random branded ones on Amazon are not individually addressable. Last year I did try another set from Amazon that looked promising and was on sale super cheap. Sadly it turned out that they were just a bunch of short strings connected in parallel. (pixel 1 of each drop all did the same thing, 2’s were all the same, 3’s all the same…etc.) I sent them back. They were these: Amazon.com: [APP& Remote Contrl] Smart Halloween Icicle Lights Color Changing Icicle Lights with Timer 33.7ft 420LED 80 Drops Halloween Lighting for Roof, Music Sync, Outdoor Holiday Lighting for Tree, Porch : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Ray Wu’s factory store on AliExpress does offer some different options. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1100403118/pages/all-items.html?sortType=bestmatch_sort&SearchText=icicle&shop_sortType=bestmatch_sort

Those are regular size bullet pixels. They will work and are easier to repair pixel failures than seed pixels. But they are also much larger.

Ray has these on sale (at least it shows that for me) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809129624545.html They are seed pixels, but all the drops are the same length. Not 3,4,5 like the bullets you linked.
