I spent £62 on this (inc. postage) (I know I know- moment of complete madness and thought it was a bargain since £160 new!)
It arrived beautifully packaged and labelled fragile so I doubt anything happened in transit, but when I plugged it in it started to light up (like a halogen does- starts to light) and then went out and hasn't worked since.
This makes me think it is a bulb problem but new bulbs are going to be £30 but if it isnt a bulb problem then I will have spent £92 on something useless! NARGH.
Also in the listing it said "not used much so the bulbs should have lots of life in them" so I will be pretty pissed off about having to buy new ones.
I have emailed the seller to try and sort this out- no response. I do now have her phone number but am wimping out of phoning her (prefer to communicate by email on stuff like this).
Shall I open a dispute in paypal?
The listing did state no refunds on this item but it sodding well wasnt as described!
(Have emailed the original manufacturers of the light and there is a possibility I may be able to take it to them for them to check whether it is the bulbs or not if they are I could get new ones but this still pisses me off since I wasnt expecting to have to do that for about another year!)
WWYD?
