Battery Back Up Bulbs? No Battery Apparently!

A bulb was bought at a supermarket in Kingston which is suppose to have an internal battery so that when the electricity goes, it continues to give off light for sometime. The internal battery did not work and the bulb had to be taken back to the supermarket. Those bulbs are no longer on the supermarket shelves. Were they sold or they have been removed?

The following are pictures taken of the box which the bulb came in:

Question About The TV Size

A consumer bought an Imperial TV from a someone, under the believe that it was a 50 inch TV, only to find out that is is a 38 inch. The box that the TV came in, states that it is 42 inches. I understand that persons are buying TVs from stores and then reselling them to consumers. Something smells funny!

Consumers should not purchase expensive electrical appliance from individuals. Buy these things from reputable stores and ensure that these appliances are sold under warranty. The following pictures where taken of the box in which the TV was sold.

Are There Other Sub-standard Goods Being Sold?

There are also many other items being sold on the market that are of a substandard level. We need to know if the Bureau of Standards is checking on the standard and the quality of these products coming into the country. I must remind you, that you should not purchase 60 cycle electrical appliances for use in Jamaica. If anything happens to these appliances while they are plugged into JPS mains, you probably will not entitled to any compensation if the equipment becomes damaged due to electrical fluctuations.

Let me know if you have come across any substandard products on the market. Send me a text message to 876 816-5261, with a short report and I will get back to you.
