Copper loses voltage on the way out and back. Past a certain length the last LEDs get less voltage, dim, and shift colour.
On 24V, a 10-15 W/m strip drops visibly past about 5 m of lead from one feed; on 12V it is roughly half that distance.
Fix: Feed from the middle of long runs, or split the run into two 5 m feeds.
A 0.5 mm² tail across 5 m adds more resistance than the strip itself.
Fix: Use feeder cable sized for the current (check amperes, not millimetres) or run power in parallel along the run.
Chained reels multiply the drop. The datasheet gives a maximum series length; ignore it and the last reel is dim.
Fix: Parallel feed at two points instead of extending the chain.
