Led spotlights

[cook1e]

I bought 2 x 10 w Led floods off ebay sellers name was IHOME-COME, they came with very short prewired 3 core cables which I decided to replace, when I opened them up I found the earth was not connected to anything as there was nothing to connect to - I have contacted trading standards who are investigating to the best of there abillity as the items are shipped from china via a distribution centre in Portsmouth - For me its an easy fix as it is for most of you,

thing is Ive seen the same fittings being knocked out by a few wholesalers - proceed with caution !

There’s a big difference between Confomité Europénne and China Export. It’s how our eastern friends are getting around importing stuff.

The real View attachment 11422 mark and not C E

Chinese manufacturers don't seem too fussed about minor details such as copyright infringement.

It’s just a way of tricking the unwary. You may know that the gear you require should be CE marked but at a quick glance? Damned clever these Orientals. I suppose on e-bay you could quite truthfully say it’s CE marked, it’s just the wrong CE.

Seems that the LED driver is CE marked!! (after blowing the photo up) Actually looks like a pretty solid fitting to me from the photo's posted. I'm just wondering if the manufacturer fitted the gland and wiring, or was it the importer??... None of the locally made fittings on sale that i've seen over here, come with any wiring fitted!!
