This may be of interest to some of you, it came in an email to me today. No idea of the quality.

+86 is the international dialling code for China....

Not a lot of peope know that....

[Ruairidh Dunford]

Yes, that was clear from the outset.

Even the LEDs that claim to be made in the U.K. are actually made in China, then assembled into lamps in the U.K.

[Nick Salmon]

I received the email too. Suspect they have used the email contact list off the Centenary website.

[JonE]

well, someone should take them up on the "testing" offer if they use those type of lights.

I am quite certain that that is the case, but I suspect any problems would be sorted out far easier with someone on the end of the phone in the UK..

[Ruairidh Dunford]

Possibly, but that was not my experience from one “U.K.” supplier, unfortunately.

Hence how I came to find out who his supplier was - they were helpful.

[John Mason]

I suppose it all depends on cost. If they are cheap enough it may be worth the risk of buying a couple. If they turn out to be rubbish Chinese muck not much lost.

[Ruairidh Dunford]

Very true!

[Nick Salmon]

Would you like me to 'take one for the team'?
