I bought four total from Amazon last year. Worked great and brightened the shop up. After 15 months strange things were happening with the electrical in the shop. Regular LED lights would burn out, motion sensor broke, alarm light on electric heater would light.
Narrowed it down to the Ralbay garage light. It was feeding 8 volts back into the neutral of the wiring. Something was failing and making the neutral hot which went back to the panel and messed with my other items outlets.
Thought I'd pass it along

I don't know anything about the electrical jargon you are using in that post, but I'll take from it, don't buy lights like you pictured... I won't. Thanks! laugh

I’m betting there is a loose neutral somewhere

I agree with skeet buster, You have a problem with a bad neutral . Are your lights flaring or going dim when you turn on, other things in the shop. Check your panel out, for loose connections . Can even be outside of the shop. Smell for a burned bakelite smell old243

After reading some of the reviews of the product and the problems the people have had.
Lets see what the 2 year warranty hold out.

by the way a certain country is good at placing CSE labels and they have not been actually tested , so by the time they catch up ...gonzoo is the company

After narrowing it down to one line with 8 volts on the neutral. I unscrewed the light and replaced with regular LED bulb. 0 volts.

Before that, regular LED bulbs would burn and heat up after just a few minutes connected. Too hot to touch.

Is that hardwired? Or screw into light bulb porcelain?
