How do I set the effect direction for FastLED in ESPHome?

ESPHome

I have obviously missed something when defining the FastLED effects, because the motion is moving in the opposite direction of the arrows on the WS2815b LED strip. How can I make it go in the other direction?

Here is the light: definition of my yaml as defined in ESPHome.

# Define LED strip connected and amount of LEDS
light:
  - platform: fastled_clockless
    chipset: ws2812b
    pin: GPIO16
    num_leds: 600
    rgb_order: GRB
    name: ${friendly_name}
    effects:
      # Use default parameters:
      - random:
      # Customize parameters
      - random:
          name: Random effects slow
          transition_length: 30s
          update_interval: 30s
      - random:
          name: Random effects fast
          transition_length: 4s
          update_interval: 5s
      - addressable_rainbow:
          name: Rainbow
      - addressable_rainbow:
          name: Rainbow with customization
          speed: 10
          width: 512

Some effects have the reverse: parameter.

Thank you for your reply.
BTW; Do you know where I can find more effects for FastLED using ESPHome?
and… Can I use the Examples from FastLED Github in any way using ESPHome?

I believe you can using a custom lambda.
