I used several of rays covers. Some come off easy, some are STUCK. And seeing the chipset on the lights is 0% accomplished. So when I was told make sure the big chip faces power well... That was a true loss. And I reversed them blew the fuse, reversed them and it was dead. I finally after 12 fuses got them straightened out and got them working.
And shipping was a little higher, but I wanted that look on the roofline and gutter. I used an old c7 base and spliced them into that base with a little distance between the nodes(1200 splices later)and wrapped the whole enclosure and used liquid tape. So far 100% waterproofed, (oh a couple of bottles of superglue to hold the cover on to a few). These strands 1 102 pixel on top roof, one 50 pixel on bottom roof and 78 pixels over the garage roof. Looks like the old c7 configuration but I have a pipe dangling and a cat 5 and I used liquid tape to seal the pipes and so far with all the rain and high winds not an issue. I don't use their white, I used color finder to match warm white in LSP so My one strand that looked blueish white became not an issue. But Ray will adjust me for the next order because of it.
But it was a little pricey to get them and I was worried and wife woke up to the spacing a week after halloween and went they need 8" spacing or we are not using them. So I spent two straight weeks sleeping, walking and living with wire cutters and a soldering iron.
But overall now that they are done and working. I like them, just a lot of work to get them right where I wanted them. And each night those are the one item of the show that runs like a champ. And so now, the wife wants MORE!
