Like you 'knew' that you should plug a strip of LEDs into a wall socket ?

ROFLMAO!!
If I get a product without instructions, the first thing I do is a Google search. I don't think it would have been too hard to find the right way to wire this thing.
We all make mistakes, Will, but blaming Randy for your own inexperience isn't the right way to go about it. Remember, it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I hope you didn't get any 12v exhaust fans for your cabinet. They don't come with instructions either. ;D

Question for Will... you said:
--- Quote ---Sorry if you don't get a glowing review from me but your product (instructions)and the actual product you are selling are not impressive.

Now...I can see how you have formed an opinion on the instructions (or lack there-of)...but how in the hell can you have an opinion on the PRODUCT ITSELF when you INSTANTLY fried yours by hooking it up to 10x the voltage than is acceptable?!?
I am a little confused...did the product WORK for a split second...long enough for you to say "...AND THE ACTUAL PRODUCT YOU ARE SELLING ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE" with any sort of validity?
Will:
I think that i was clear about messing up and it being my fault and i made an honest stupid mistak).I thought at the time of wiring that i was wiring to 12v which it was not and i fried it.I was doing something i should not have done on my own and or should have asked for help which i did not.In my hastyness to finish one of my last items on my project i cut the power from the old marquee light halogen and wired it to the new led marquee light.Hence why I said i can deal with the loss.That is not my problem with this product.
"Features:
Incredibly Bright - Each unit includes 16 intensely high output, wide-angle, "cool white" LEDs.
Low Voltage - 12v operation means that the marquee light may be connected directly to your PC power supply for simple "auto-on" operation ."
This is what i read on the web page but honestly thought that this meant that connecting it to my power supply was an optional thing and that it still would come with a plug.Obviously silly but in all honesty I really just assumed a marquee light would be prewired sort of plug and play item and did not understand from the product description what i was getting into.In all honesty i think i was more enamored with the fact that it was good for the enviroment and would last along time than researching how to power it.
Fozzy the product instructions that come with it are very light on the part about how to wire to your pc power supply was really short and that is my complaint.Than to see randy is now adding a molex connector option shows me how im not alone in wanting ease of use.Had he had a diagram on how to wire it correctly or provided and or offered a molex connector option at the time of my purchase I would not be bitching at all.
You can call me a tithead or and idiot for what i did(probably true) but I think my post has merit and is not some sort of revenge or scheme to hurt GGG.I clearly stated how the product could be improved in terms of installation for dummies like me.Possible somebody else will read this who is not a wiring power expert and decide on his own which product is right for them.If you look at the ultimarc product its as simple as pie for installing you undo a molex and connect one and bang power.In regards to my price complaint I admit it was after the fact I did some snooping around the net for "led strips" and did find similar for less I understand people need to make a profit and the price difference was not huge but clearly this led strip can be bought for less.
I bought the product and was dissatisfied with the provided instructions I never got to actually see it working so i cant comment on brightness or quality of leds.I think its laughable how there is now a molex connector option now two weeks after I had issues with installing it..Since you have not purchased this item fozzy, i dont think you have read the instructions, but it doesnt matter your an expert at all this god forbid someone makes a honest mistake.
ps Sorry for the double post.

YOU made the mistake...you said so yourself. Why did that translate to you crapping all over this thread? If RANDY made some sort of mistake, I can see you posting here blasting him...but he didn't... YOU did. How about you look up something in the encyclopedia called PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY because you're not exhibiting an ounce of it. We're talking about $20 here anyway... TWENTY FRIGGIN' DOLLARS.
I'll tell you what. Give me your paypal address. I will send you $20 just to shut the :censored: up. Deal?

No deal :angry:
I made a mistake does that mean i lose all rights to comment on the products contents?I thought about not posting this but somebody asked for experience with the product and all be it as lame is mine is it still is on topic.I realize most people here have had good experiences with ggg and for that reason i thought about not saying ---Cleveland steamer--- combined with how stupid i was in terms of not posting here for help first but my experience sucked with what came in the box and no i did not find the instructions to be sufficient for installing it correctly.I also see where he could improve the product and hey look guys he is :banghead:
