Lamps failing

[ColinA]

my question relates to a new build where 8 GU10 fittings are installed in a kitchen/diner and previously had enclosed low energy lamps (flourescent type) and they were replaced with 60 LED day white lamps, mainly because the original lamps weren't bright enough, however, they seem to fail quite quickly and the symptoms are only some of the LED's on individual lamps actually light.

Is this a common experience?, or, are the lamps wrong in some way.

I would think its probably the quality of the lamps. You have every factory in China making these lamps these days and some are rubbish.

Welcome to the forum, I have moved this to a new thread rather than hi-jacking someone else's thread with your new question.

If you can tell us what price per lamp you paid/were charged we could probably say for sure if it is a quality issue

Seeing as some fittings which have the LED lamp as an integral part , offer a 7 year guarantee I'd go with cheapo poor quality lamps.

As with 50W GU10s , some seem to last for yonks others fail before you've packed your tools .

Carp Lamps...........you get [and deserve] what you pay for with LEDs

LED technology is still in its infancy and combined with the fact that Ting Tong Maccadangdang and all her family are spitting these out more quickly than they can shell peas is resulting in the market being flooded with some absolute $h!te.......... :coat

as you may have concluded from my previous dilusional rantings , both Mr Merlot and myself prefer to sit on the fence and calmly and quietly go about our business. In the process being neither critical nor judgemental. Being succinct, to the point and brief with my /our replies.............FFS believe that and you'll believe a bloke paid more money than we can ever imagine [for doing his fricking job, that is] is incapable of kicking an inflated pigs bladder, past 1 bloke , and into the back of a net. ........me? enjoy football? I would rather go to an NICEIC Live Talk show! But, come on, be fare....this country is becoming a shambles. My freaking fridge/freezer has a better rating than the UK economy................rant finishes, but it will continue, oh yes! it WILL continue............. :coat
