JCC LED6 Downlighters

Grumpy
Today I have replaced yet another of the above for a customer, fortunately not installed by me. Her experience, judging by reviews on t' web is far from unique and they're not blinkin' cheap. Personally, I prefer a can and a separate lamp so I wondered if anyone else on here has had this problem and if they found an alternative can that is not too dissimilar from the LED6. Thanks.

    Don't get me going on it either. I have had problems with the standard replaceable LEDs. Having sourced some samples I showed the different LED bulbs to the customer in a test unit in her kitchen and she selected the one she liked, I tested them with the dimmer I planed to use and all was well. 


    I replaced over 40 of them throughout her house with about 15 being in the large kitchen. I should say they were installed before she bought the house.


    Within a month about six had failed. The supplier could not supply a LED with the same or similar: colour temp, LED appearance when off, illumination angle, CRI or dimmable characteristics. They even tried twice to send me none dimmable replacements. I ended up going around swapping bulbs from different rooms to try and get a match in each room.


    Over a year later I got a call from the customers husband asking if I could supply the details of the conversations I had had with the supplier as they had continued to have problems. I had piles of emails and records of telephone conversations which I sent him. He was a solicitor and I suspect he eventually got satisfaction, at least he did not blame me.

    Oh yes! Unphased may be a bit of a Phantom elsewhere.
