I've just been round to fit a new light for my parents - not so keen.
It's one of those bar lights with 4 spots on, but my mum likes it.
Had a quick butchers and found that during production, they had screwed the earth cable into the insulation, not the crimp - all metal light. It's also rated for 'max 11W bulbs' - if you could see the cables inside, you'd understand why!!!
Penny pinching at the risk of the customer - must save them a good few quid over the production run
The way I see it, is someone would buy the light and install it. The lights are not bright enough (11w CFL supplied). They look at LED and think WOW how expensive and get a 50W GU10. Install them, the cables melt the fitting becomes live (bad earth). Customer electrocuted.
Would have taken 5 seconds on a jig to test continuity..... bastards.
