My casing is from metal, and that seemed to cause issues. First used duct tape, and 'glued' the LED strips on that, which fixed the problem.Then i was having issues with the colors, even though i also had 5V on the entire line. I've hooked up +5V on every strip, which helped a lot.The last thing i changed was my Data line. This was about 1.2 meter from the first LED in the beginning, and when i reduced that size to about 20/30 cm. all the problems were solved.So long story short:- Try to shorten your data line- Add multple +5V lines to your LEDs (4 (for every side 1) would be best to test/rule out other issues).</blockquote>
