I recently purchased 2 colors of your EL tape for a project that I had put together but I must say I'm sadly a bit disappointed with it. At first I really liked the brightness of the tape but where the wires connect to the tape I find to be a bit of a problem I didn't even get to use it for more then 2 hours and had 1 wire pull loose from the tape and actually electrocute me. I used the tape in a project on a helmet for a concert but it didn't even make the concert. I was extra careful with the tape as well and still had this problem. Sadly a bit disappointed

Sorry it broke on you. Unfortunately, tape connections do tend to be fragile.

Thanks anyway figured they would be was just sad it decided to let go so quickly and easily. Gonna try and solder it back and if not I just ordered more. The rest held up great.
