Hi Guys,
Like many others I have bought some 12V 2811 modules for candy canes.

I have also soldered waterproof pigtails as per sketch below.

A few questions
1 - Any unforseen issues with the way have I wired up these modules?
2 - Is there anyway to pre test the wiring and soldering from the 4 pin connectors using a multimeter before powering up?
3 - If so what do I look for and how can I do it?
I already have the candy canes completely built and am hoping to avoid having to replace any damaged modules should I not have soldered the waterproof connectors on correctly.
