Philips LED Lights are Reported Faulty in China

It's reported that a sample product from Philips LED cannot meet the standards according to the quality inspection of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine(AQSIQ) on January 23, 2014. The inspection report shows that 21 out 82 LED brand companies, and 22 out of 108 sample products are reported faulty; the rate reaches 20%.




The LED lamp, which makes Philips LED listed in the report, is one reflective self-ballasted LED lamp(PAR38) marked with "PHILIPS" "11E27PAR38-C11W" produced on" 10 June 2013 " by " Philips Lighting Manufacturing ( Shenzhen ) Co. Ltd. ". It fails the inspection because of its interchangeability could not meet the national standard.The interchangeability we talk about here refers the lamp cap and holder does not comply with the standard size, which may cause security problems caused by poor contact between the cap and holder.

Reporters also found that other products from Philips, such as socket and circuit breaker, was reported with quality problem earlier in April,2012. It was revealed in a inspection report from Beijing Consumers Association. It shows that a electrical socket marked with "PHILIPS" "SPS13 * 0C/93" from " Philips ( China ) Investment Co., Ltd. " could not meet industrial standard.

In fact, many LED companies encounter this kind of problem. People doubt the quality and safety of LED products. However, the advantages of LED products are more than the opposite. Besides, the entire LED industry is not mature enough, but it moves on with a nice prospect. We believe that these problem and concerns will disappear some day in the future.
