[SML] Narrow beam LED pixel strips?

[Joe]

I am working on a project where I would like to make a light-curtain, that can open in a way comparable to a traveler curtain.   This would be like a standard LED Pixel strip, mounted on the floor of the stage..  However, I would want each LED to have a fairly narrow beam.  I know I can get standard individual 5mm LEDs with beams as narrow as 3deg. Though, I have never seen such a narrow beam for the Pixel type of LED.

I did find these small LED fixtures with some significant power, and narrow beam.  But, not Pixel type.  Though, I can't seem to find it anywhere in the U.S.  And the overseas ones tend to be out of stock. So, perhaps discontinued. Stanley LLM0854A

An alternative to the Pixel strips, would be to use an 8 or 12 channel DMX LED driver, with the fixtures I have linked above. The beams won't be as densely packed as a LED strip. And I can't chance those fixture's color, but it is certainly an option.
Any other ideas top do this effect?  I would like at least 48 beams, and prefer more. But, I may settle for 24 beams, if nothing is really on the market that would serve my purpose, and be under $500 USD total.

For those unaware of the Pixel protocol, it allows each individual LED in the strip to be controlled.
