hi,

went to scout for lightings last week and saw most shops are selling the 13w plc lights at about $15 to $17. there is one particular shop that i went to recommended me the german made plc light and the sales person told me that the quality is much better and brighter than those taiwan made ones.

is his claim true? are the taiwan made ones more inferior or acceptable?

i dont mind paying the higher price if there is a big difference.

anyone has purchase these german made PLC lights and can comment?

thanks

hi there, I read yr question with some laughter i admit....The Taiwanese I think will be saying the same thing abt their lights being brighter... Its really gettting out of hand nowadays what sales person wil do or say to get their sales or old stocks moving.

i think so too. its the sales tactic to sell you something at a high price and not questioning. yesterday i went to a few more lighting shops to check and enquired about the so called german made plc lights. all the shops told me that there is no german made light fitting in the market and all are made in taiwan or china! i was totally shocked. was the first shop in balestier trying to rip me off by selling a same fitting but claiming to be german made? i have no clue! but i must say their service was excellent even i didnt buy anything from them. i also found out that one piece of lighting in this particular shope was selling at half the price in a shop in geylang!

perhaps we are just paying for the services

You can try A lighting at Geylang. Look for Alex. Good service and honest guy. I bought all my ligths with them and 3 from ikea. 1 from DK.
