This is normal. Maybe it would be better with a fixed project. I used them to make a Halloween stick figure costume. When moving it jammed the spot on the LED strip where it was supposed to be plugged in, rendering it unusable. I'm sure they would have worked great otherwise. While there are other types where the strip is inserted under metal clamps that do not clamp the strip. I think they are doing their job. But because they didn't work and because they didn't fit me, I'm giving fewer stars.
