Which LED lamp?

Suppose as their business has grown, makes sense to have your own 'essential' brand. Not sure it's good for the customer?

As far as I understand, lumilife is the ledhut brand that they get the chinese factory to stamp on their products.

This happens so much with so many products and brands. It's often hard to separate the wheat from the chaff these days.

I needed a Sector RCBO the other week. Blokey in Senate where I had to get it from said Crabtree used to make their RCBOs but since AMD3 they don't/won't allow the rebrand. Possibly so Crabtree get more sales their way.

I used to buy all my GU10's from light rabbit, never never again. They were the 60SMD lamps.

over a two year period I probably fitted 300 of them, I've had probably 30 of them fail.

they are total rubbish, ok they keep sending me replacements but I only buy good quality LED GU10s from my local wholesaler now, the BELL 6w Pro, very very good.

personally I think all the ones you find online by other lamp dealers that are unbranded as such or own branded are just cheap Chinese carp!

Just to add, it makes me look stupid as I sell it to the customer on the basis it will probably out live them.... In comparison to a normal lamp that is.

I specifically ask customers to make sure to tell me if any fail as I would want to know about that happening. Especially so if it was happening a lot, then I would then swap to a different brand.

I would also like to know, fortunately the ones I know about are friends or family so god knows how many others have failed.

Yep, ultimately you can never know for sure unless you start ringing people 12 months after changing the lamps. That might look a bit mad though!! I always mention the three year guarantee, which I think would prompt a lot of them.

I would like to ring people and ask, but equally I don't want the hassle of them saying yes XYZ and then needing to drop loads of lamps of here there and everywherem, you do it once, and they will be constantly on the phone taking the pee claiming lamps for their mates.

I've had quite a few LEDhut items fail. Especially floodlights.

GU10s I fit are crompton or robus and don't seem to have much of a problem with them.
