I bought 4 of these for our kitchen:
They are circular panels (36W 3240LM 4000K). In retrospect, they are a bit too bright, so I'd settle for lower wattage. These ones allegedly have a 20,000 hour lifespan.
Can anyone recommend some reliable lights that look similar, but actually work, please?
I've bought a few of this type
not from this seller and I suppose with such commodity items from ebay/aliexpress/amazon, there's no guarantee the same supplier supplies the exact same items even a few weeks later, but they haven't broken down ...
I use one of these to simulate daylight and stop me sleeping at night time when I'm supposed to be eyes-on-stalks....
I previously installed the 18w version - which made the office paperwork hard to read.
If some are not returned then the manufacturer profits must be huge!
I hear lots of stories about panels failing, and so avoid any "special" fitting.
That is the reason why I purchase fittings that take standard LED lamps where the fittings will likely outlast the building they're in.
I shall be shortly installing somelights, these will use standard fluorescent fittings to take standard LED tubes. If one fails I don't have to change all the lamps in 5 years time for the sake of one to ensure the batons matched.
Interesting sounds like Amazon got a dodgy batch. Brian
This item isn't sold by Amazon, it's fulfilled by Amazon.
I've had very good service from BLT Direct UK.

I bought two 18w versions a couple of years ago, I was so impressed with the quality of light from them, I bought an extra two as replacement spares. They are not the same fitting, but use the same clip on connection and probably the same electronics. I have had no failures at all.
