Fake LED lamps - Fake Britain BBC1

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Don`t buy on line is the best idea, but they won`t ever be able to stop this, serves this country right for selling out to China!

Non-isolated LED lamps with touchable LEDs - how anyone can even think of making these is beyond me, but the chinese will make anything! Just avoid all chinese electronics unless it comes from a reputable, big-name shop!

That YouTube video seems to have attracted comments some of the most moronic, arrogant fucktards! Just check the comments some people have posted under that video on YouTube. More concerned with semantics than the fact that these things have a real potential to kill or injure someone!

Agree Dan, they don't have a clue, so instead they attempt to appear like they do by being pedantic, when the main issue is that these things could kill or injure someone.

I bet that bulb was 3 for £10 with free delivery. Just goes to prove people are driven by price.
The CE reputation has been blown out the water. Although I'm sure it is policed somewhere, these days standards and laws are put into statute but there are no resources to police it.

The set-up is now perfect. Buy a good off the internet from a seller that can disappear as quickly as he appeared, who got his stock from a company that is under so many alias' its untraceable. But the joke of it is you can't stop trade with China because no one else in the world these days makes anything as well as it will restrict world trade.

It seems to be one everything that comes out of China be it compliant or not. Didn't the CE mark replace the BSI - a standard which we had more control over?
