Chinese R7s LED replacement – review

I purchased some R7s LED replacements advertised as 30W and 40W.

Above, what arrived after almost three months was four of the above, unmarked (nothing on the box or on the lamp).

They were already subject to a claim against the Aliexpress on time delivery guarantee, but Aliexpress had delayed the claim by a month when they were actually delivered. Lesson in this is that Aliexpress on time delivery guarantee is of little value.

Nevertheless, better late than never!

Or is it… lets measure them up.

Above is a test of one of the lamps on 238V and the power consumed is 10.74W, that is just 27% of what was advertised and ordered. The other three measure within 5% of the same 11W. Chinese cheats!

These probably produce as much light output as an 11W LED, but way less than what was ordered, what was paid for, and what was needed.

Conclusions

Cheap Chinese junk.
