Quoted from darkryder:So I did some troubleshooting of the light strip and determined that it had a bad solder connection. The LEDs would shine brightly if I squeezed one of the LEDs tightly against the strip. I tried carefully soldering the LED connection to the strip, but now it doesn't light at all. Steve from JJP is sending me a new replacement LED strip for the Oz head.
For those light strips, the way to get the wire soldered to it is to get a small amount of solder to adhere to the terminal pad of the strip. Then attaching the wire is easy.
