I bought a lot of G5s, of which three power input cables were pressed against the LED board.

As a result, the led substrate was removed from the pin and the cable was damaged.

I think should pay more attention to assembly.

Thats actually close to potentially shorting quite a bit of wattage and “letting the smoke out” . Hopefully they’ll replace it, as they have done for the cracking covers.
 
That is a potential fire hazard, an exposed power wire where is should not be and a recall should be done as it seems pretty common based on this sample set.
 
No conformal coating on that pcb at all??

From what I have confirmed, there is no separate insulating coating.
 
That’s appalling given the criminal prices they are asking for these things. Was considering a set but they appear to be total junk.
 
This is really unfortunate. I'd be asking for my money back rather than deal with their fixes (unless they want to pay you for your time!)
