I ordered an 80w led floodlight to replace my old 400w halogen in an effort to reduce running costs while maintaining the same light output. The cost was approximately £80
Upon unboxing I was a little shocked by the poor fit and finish of the light. The aluminium reflector had a buckle in it and the cutout for the led unit looked like it had been done by a 5-year old with blunt scissors.
I was half tempted to send it straight back but after checking the Energy saving online returns policy, I found that the stated that their original postage would be deducted. So I decided to keep the floodlight rather than paying two lots of postage to return it.
Once installed the lamp appears fairly bright but it is definitely not comparable with my old 400w in actual light output.
Money saved on my electric bill but at considerable cost for a poor quality product.
