AC 110V 220V High Voltage Addressable RGB LED Tape Light Outdoor IP68

I have purchased other light strips from superlightingled.com and always been happy with the product, but these are not up to par. I bench tested the strips quite a bit and they worked great. After installing them though, they didn't work at all and I determined there was no continuity from the input on the data wire to the pcb. I cut the strip at the first cut point and soldered a new pigtail on and it worked after that. But, then I shifted the strips around a little to make up for the lost length, and it failed abiut 5 feet down from the end. This time it was both positive and negative that had no continuity, so I soldered jumpers across and it's now working, but I'm dreading trying to finish this install. It's especially aggravating because these strips have no adhesive, so I need to secure them well to avoid it looking like crap. The point where it failed the second time looks like a spot where every couple meters they took a new peice of PCB and connected it to the last one with some thin wires. On single color strips, I don't ever remember seeing them done this way. I did pull on the strips a little, but not in an overly harsh manner and there was zero visible deformation anywhere in the areas that failed. They are in an extremely robust and thick silicone tube.

I have purchased led strips from superlightingLED in the past and always been happy with the quality. These unfortunately are not up to par. During installation I had 2 different spots on the strip where the internal connections failed and had to be cut open and soldered back together. They also come with no adhesive backing, which is not helpful when you need to treat them with such care that using any kind of mechanical fastening might break them. They fail where pieces of wire are used to connect the end pigtail, and to connect different pieces of pcb together and you can see a blank spot in the wire with small jumper wires across the gap. The soldering job does not seem to be good. Don't buy unless you want to be cutting open silicone tubes and soldering tiny wires together like this. The one I'm using is 60 led version
