    I got a 5 meters of LED-strip. LEDs are a normal quality, but some pieces have a "low-cost" soldering...

    For this project, I use just a 2 meters of small (10...25cm) pieces without this soldering.
    The rest I will give to my children for bikes.

    I'm guessing you use surgical tools to plug those in? She's too tidy for human fingers to fit in.
