Honestly, the LEDs in these things require so little power that practically any outlet to USB adapter will do the trick. I use several of that 7 port option you have posted above on the left. All off of them run off the same plug; lighting up well over a dozen fusion reactors powering my Hot Toys with a couple of statue LEDs to boot. It's an inexpensive option and you can disengage each USB connection individually (though admittedly I found the switches to be cheap and prone to breaking). Additionally, the hub looks like it comes with a more than capable AC/DC adapter.
Hopefully that helps.

I've just used ravpower usb splitters for similar setups, I imagine most multi hubs this day and age that are made for charging would work
hi. thanks for the advice .so project done & works great i used an r/c plug (ebay 4pk £13) with the 7 port usb hub (ebay £6.30) with 2 usb-c for gantry & mk7 + 1 usb-micro for centurion (total ebay cost £3.50) the background was an internet image (printed for £6)
