I bought some lights from this company…

I bought some lights from this company in November. They came but unfortunately I chose the wrong fitting. I have been trying to return my lamps for 2 months but cannot get a reply to my email requesting an address to return to. I have emailed 5 times and have had no answer so far.

GLS Light Bulb 240V 25W B22D Pearl 10 pack

Ordered the following incandescent light bulbs; 'GLS Light Bulb 240V 25W B22D Pearl 10 pack', for my outside porch lanterns and they only lasted about a day, blowing when switched on! The bulbs work ok indoors though, so suggest only buying them for indoor usage only, as no good with outdoor light fittings. Website stated they were ‘Standard Household Light Bulbs’, yet packaging stated they were ‘Not’ for using at home and are for industrial use only, further mentioning that they are for ‘traffic light’ use! (I was told this was to do with EU legislation). Thinking it might be due to the cold weather, I replaced them with 40w candle bulbs from other indoor light fittings and they worked fine.

General Lamps told me they weren't sure why they were failing early and offered to test them if I sent some back. I have requested a postage returns label for the remaining bulbs as well as a refund, but have not heard anything since 16th December 2022.

Money taken; no sign of goods.

I placed my order on 26th December and the payment was taken from my account. Since then I have heard nothing, although I emailed the company on 5th January to ask when my order will be delivered.

It is now late afternoon on 9th January and I have still had no reply.

Hi Lynn, we have spoken with our supplier for these tubes and they are struggling to get them since the EU ban on T12 tubes. Its probably best that we will cancel and credit back your order . If you could call one of our team on 01494 880099 option 1 we can talk to you about the options we have available

Best Regards
