Well I meant just the nodes. I had about 10% overall I had to splice out.
I suspect that ordering these days that number would be much lower, but not zero.
Maybe just plan for 5% bad on the nodes, just so you can handle worst case.
Again, Ray actually replaced all the bad onces and even gave me some extras ... so
no complaints, just a lot of splicing.
I bought 4 SS flex strips and they are all perfect. To me, the quality of those
and even the modules was much higher than the nodes, no failures on any of those
thus far.
