WS2814 24V flickering/gliching when connected to 3.3v - No change with Logic level shifter

5v positive comes through USB ^^
I take that and feed it to the LLS by bridging the VIN pin on the ESP32 with the red 5V wire

Technically you can leave it out says this forum post:

Although my power supply’s noisy-ness isnt exactly confidence instilling. I’ll give that a shot, thanks!
