What's happened to Megaman

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

What's happened to Megaman

Postby HIDLamp » Sat Oct 29, 2016 11:04 pm

Last January I did the lighting in a shop and used Megaman 4W GU10s in daywhite for the main lighting. In April they statred failing one by one. The supplier endorsed the 5 year warranty and replaced the failed ones, then another selection would go and get sent back and now we are at 2 originals and now the replacements are failing too. So now the shop looks a right mess with all sorts of random second hand LEDs, CFLs and halogens I've been foraging for free as temporary replacements.
The Megaman 12 4W MR16s are fine as are the Kosnic MR11s and 8W BCs.

90s 12V MR16 the best show lighting made imo!

MegaMans GU10s are total shite!, thats the problem!, I use to use them all over work, and the exact same thing happened!, and at £6 a throw at Electric Centre, their a waste of money!
We got some MiniSun daylight whites from off e-bay, at £2 each, and these seem to be lasting longer!!!

Yea, Can't say I've ever been that impressed with anything Megaman made in LED....
