Make sure the wire that has the writing on is reading (correctly) from left to right.. ie if you put it in good light you’ll see something like “24 AWG” and/or “300 V”. The “2” goes on the power supply side of your run and the “V” goes toward the end of the run

Pros may be able to go further before you need a booster. Likely because it’s pushing more power to begin with. Can’t verify myself.

Careful with the heat gun doing heat shrink over the light, especially if you removed it from the puck! Don’t want to melt the circuit board!

If you need a light, cut the last one off a strand, then cap/heat shrink that spot. Yes, you can cut any of them, just voids the warranty on non-pros. I cut 3 off to make this video, the lights remaining still work.
