Bought a number of bulbs from ExpertElectrical (aka downlights.co.uk), and when one of them went faulty a few months later they replaced it without hesitation! It wasn't an expensive replacement..... See more

What a great company to deal with

What a great company to deal with, my order was left at my front door by the Dpd driver so Dpd say? but wasn't there when I arrived, called Expert Electrical to investigate the delivery, don't think they got anywhere with Dpd customer services no surprise, but Edward organised swiftly to get replacement's sent out great service many thanks.

Is this a joke or what?!!!

I finally received my LED tape lights after 16 days but I'm satisfied with the reason(s) that was given. My original enquiry online were as follows:

"The following are my requirements:
(1) White dimmable, temperature adjustable LED strip tape - 3.30 m (cut to exact length). Need to have adhesive backing and dimmable (using a separate controller) and temperature adjustable. No requirement for IP65 rating. LED tape will be mounted in a straight run.
(2) Item 1 to be supplied with appropriate driver, connector etc. to be powered using a 3-pins plug for direct connection to mains. There must be a minimum 2 metres cable run (this can include the driver(s) in between) connecting one end of the LED strip to the 3-pins plug.
(3) Separate controller for temperature change and dimming.
Essentially, I need a "plug and play" system. "

Note the 'plus and play system'. You advertised that you're able to provide a bespoke system according to requirements. What I received were isolated items with bare wires (unconnected) and a 3-pin plug for me to connect myself. Is this a joke? How am I supposed to connect, and put, all these bare wires from the different bits together?

Will the sales manager explain? If this is not sorted out, I would like a refund!

REPLY TO MATT SMITH: The issue is not just with the 3-pin plug! I was supplied with a roll of LED tape soldered to a wire at one end and it would require a wire stripper to strip it down to reveal the copper bits. Then there is a standalone transformer with red/back wires sticking out on one side and a blue/brown wires on the other. And, I was given a controller with, what seems like another transformer, in an original packaging. How do you expect me to connect all these bits together without instructions or the tools? How am I supposed to even connect those copper wires between the different bits? This is not 'plug and play system' that I've asked for - they're bits and pieces. The only way I could get this to work is to pay for an electrician, which will cost me at least £160, to get all these wired up. If I knew this is going to be the case, even though I've stated the 'plug and play' requirement very clearly in my enquiry, I wouldn't have placed the order with Expert Electrical. I have not received your call as of this update.

Hi,

I will contact you by phone today to try and resolve this. The tape we sell is usually hard wired and I can see we've supplied you a 3 pin plug to wire this into a socket.

We do appreciate all feedback and this is the first time we've had a complaint of this nature regarding the supply of LED tape. We will take this on board and fresh guidance will be issued with regards to 'plug and play' quotes.

If you need anything else, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Matt Smith

Multiple delays and cancellations

Multiple delays and cancellations with delivery, now apparently stuck at depot, but no explanation or information. Have had to postpone installation and cancel my electrician, whole project delayed. Would not have ordered if I had known shipping would be so bad. Simply not good enough.

Hi Simon,

I've had a look into this and can see this was ordered on a 3-4 working day service from ourselves, and was shipped to be delivered on the 4th working day which was Friday of last week.

Unfortunately it seems DPD had a delay getting this to your local depot which pushed this back to Saturday. On Saturday they are showing this as attempted delivery but with a card left. As there is no GPS location on this and no image of where the card was left, I believe they have struggled to find the address. This would have been relayed to you by email from DPD themselves.

We have done everything we could to get this to you on time, however it seems like this is an issue with the courier themselves. I'm going to get another sent out today and hopefully DPD manage to find you this time.

If you need anything else, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Matt Smith
