Yesterday I called the lighting shop and told them my problem. Greg took me there after dinner and we managed to exchange lights.

I do not have broken lights now but will I have one which doesn’t light up?

These are cheap lights made in China. I am on a budget and the apartment is not for my own use.

I hope there won’t be anymore light problem

I bought some lights from a lighting shop last week. This is the first time I am shopping for lights, I found the shop after checking out some forums. Quite a number of people recommended this shop near Tesco Puchong that offers reasonable prices. I too found the price to be reasonable which is why I ordered the lights without searching for more stores. Honestly, I don’t have time to check out many places.

Anyway, the shop told me they do not have 12 units for the model I have chosen. When I went to pick up the lights this evening, I decided to replace the other 6 units with the same model but in different colour. The guy at the shop did open the boxes for me to check colours. Basically they’re just making sure the correct models were given and the number of bulbs tallied.

After I got home, I opened one of the box to look inside the light. When I started to divide the lights into 2 groups (I am buying for 2 apartments), I noticed sound came out from one of the lights when it was moved. The tube must have been broken. Then I started to wonder how to install the lights onto the ceiling? There must be some screws. True enough, there are screws for all the 6 units I’ve exchanged tonight but no screws for the other 6 units. Screw the shop!

Tomorrow I will have to call up and make a complaint. What if they deny it is their negligence and accuse me of damaging the lights after I took them? They cannot deny the missing screws for sure. How can I be sure the lights will work? Must I test them one by one? I am going to bring all 12 and demand to have them tested.

I have to make another trip there by myself tomorrow. I am so pissed off now.

Be very careful if you’re getting lights from Top 10 in Puchong.
