Power esp8266 and led strip with a single source

ieee488:
Are you sure your RGB LED strip is 12V ?

The ones WS2812B I bought were 5V. Granted there may be new technology that I am not aware of.

I run mine from a 5V/10A AC adapter.

I'm sure, my LED strip is an SMD 5050 that uses the remote controller bellow and has 4 wires: +12V, R, G, B
