Glow Worm Luciferin is a firmware designed for ESP8266/ESP32 microcontrollers.
ESP8266 is the recommended microcontroller for Luciferin**, it's cheap, it's fast, it has enough memory and built in WiFi, its ecosystem is generally more mature than other microcontrollers. If you want to use another microcontroller you can build your own firmware. Wemos and Lolin D1 Mini microcontrollers are premium ones.

Thanks to Arduino Boostrapper it can run on a lot of devices but if you want to run of a different board than ESP8266/ESP32, you need to manually compile the firmware.
60 LEDs per meter is generally bright enough for most applications and does not require a lot of power.
You need to buy a power supply capable of powering all the LEDs you want. For 60 LEDs a power supply of at least 5V/3A it's recommended, for 120 LEDs you need a 5V/6A power supply, do your math here. A bigger power supply generally works better and runs less hot than a smaller one. Don't undersize the power supply.
