This may be of interest to some of you, it came in an email to me today. No idea of the quality.

+86 is the international dialling code for China....
Not a lot of peope know that....

Yes, that was clear from the outset.
Even the LEDs that claim to be made in the U.K. are actually made in China, then assembled into lamps in the U.K.

I received the email too. Suspect they have used the email contact list off the Centenary website.

well, someone should take them up on the "testing" offer if they use those type of lights.

I am quite certain that that is the case, but I suspect any problems would be sorted out far easier with someone on the end of the phone in the UK..

Possibly, but that was not my experience from one “U.K.” supplier, unfortunately.
Hence how I came to find out who his supplier was - they were helpful.

I suppose it all depends on cost. If they are cheap enough it may be worth the risk of buying a couple. If they turn out to be rubbish Chinese muck not much lost.
