Review on Brizled 18ft 216 LED Rope Lights: Daylight White 🔆 Flexible Tube Lights for Indoor/Outdoor Décor - ETL Listed & Connectable by Olusola Reid

I bought this lantern to fit a groove cut in the board. The specified rope diameter was 12.6mm or about 1/2 inch, which should have been an easy fit. Unfortunately the actual rope was very stiff with a diameter of 13mm to 13.8mm and didn't fit in the groove. I had to mill a larger groove, which took a lot of time. I decided to test the LEDs before installing and they worked initially, but the last 2 feet or so stopped working after about an hour when they were glowing flawlessly. Luckily, Revain sent a replacement that was more flexible, ironically averaging 10.3mm. a diameter that would easily work before I post below, but also less than the advertised 12.6mm diameter. At this point in the test, the LEDs are still working. I gave 2 stars as the second unit is still going and Revain's replacement policy but I am very suspicious of a product with so much production variability and initial issues.
