Please consider the similar Addressable High-Density RGB 72-LED Strip, 5V, 0.5m (SK9822), which features the same interface and color order and can generally be used as a drop-in replacement.

This high-density LED strip has a length of 0.5 m and contains 72 RGB LEDs that can be individually addressed using an easy-to-control SPI interface, allowing you full control over the color of each RGB LED. The flexible, waterproof strip runs on 5 V and can be chained with additional APA102C strips to form longer runs or cut apart between each LED for shorter sections.
