[RANT ON] I am so fed up and frustrated with junk. I recently had 10 out of 20 4 core tees that were bad right out of the box. Today I found one of the 350watt 12 volt power supplies is actually a 5 volt supply labeled as 12V. I thought that was going to be the reason why my pixels were not working correctly. BUT NOOO, they have water in them!!!! It rained here last weekend, which it rarely does in south Texas. I bought the flat back clear 1804 pixel nodes from Ray earlier this year, before the technicolor were introduced.

Login I had them made with 8" spacing.
Mine are rated IP66 by Ray. After spending the last few weeks mounting them to pvc pipes, adding waterproof connecters, installing clips to roof to make an easy setup/takedown rig, and lining the entire roof eave and ridge including 3 gables, I find out today they will no work.
Dont know what I will do right now, but I will try to find some made in America, if they exist, next time. Tired of low quality control and no consistency. First part of the year I ordered some landscaping lights. I worked out what I wanted with their rep, bought a sample, confirmed it was what I wanted and ordered a case of them. When they arrived, They were different. Changed housing and mounting bracket. They claimed it is what they make now and that it was the same as what I spec'ed out. Why bother with even getting a sample?
?
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
