Led Strip light problems

Options
Hi

Bought 2 x 5m 24v led strip lights. Installed both ,on same lighting circuit to replace fluorescent lights. One set works absolutely perfectly.
Second set however-
Transformer blew after about 3 hours.
Replaced transformer only, and again blew after three hours.
Third time replaced the strip lights completely ( led strip light + transformer). Tested on different circuit again the transformer lasted only 3 hours.

What if any thoughts on my problem?

tahnks in advance

    My thought would be cheap rubbish from China.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
