Frequently Asked Questions
Aren’t they all the same?
While some LED products we sell may look the same as others on the market, not all LED products and retailers are the same. Some LED products being sold in and to Australia is not to the same standard of high quality that LED Glow Illumination supplies. We have seen some of these inferior products that include; floating balls that have sunk in water causing water damage to the unprotected internal LED components, cubes that are uneven and other products that have warped, discoloured and melted in our sun to the extremely unsafe products that have caught fire. Before you invest in LED lighting products, ask about the following:
Are the products safe to use?
LED Glow Illumination products are completely safe to use. We perform many quality checks throughout the supply process including right here in Australia using qualified independent electronic engineers. See more about our quality control systems here.
Are they a quality product?
LED Glow Illumination takes pride in the high quality of our products. We will never supply defective inferior products that fail after the first use. See more about our quality control systems here.
Are they certified and made to Australian Standards and conditions?
LED Glow Illumination outdoor products are manufactured to withstand Australian conditions with a unique UV protection formula within the PE material to protect the products from our harsh sun to prevent cracking and fading. We also include a free Glow cleaning and protection kit with our products so that they can remain in pristine condition.
The internal LED Electronic components have been designed in Australia by independent electronic engineers and then thoroughly tested during the manufacturing process, before they leave the factory and again before they are supplied to our customers. The LED units and the powered chargers are also certified under CE and EU RoHS that meets Australian Standards.
What’s included in the price?
With LED Glow Illumination products, everything you need to easily operate your product is included. This includes basics like the charger, remote, easy to understand instruction manuals and a protective cleaning kit, so that your Glow product will always look its best. It’s hard to believe that some retailers offer these as optional extras at an additional cost.
What is the warranty?
LED Glow Illumination is proudly Australian owned, based and operated and we act with integrity at all times. We believe in providing outstanding customer service which includes not only fulfilling our requirements under the consumer laws of Australia, but surpassing them. We fully back all the new products we sell with a 12-month peace of mind warranty that means exactly that, peace. With all of our quality control procedures in place, we don’t expect that our customers will have any issues with their Glow product, but if there is an issue, we don’t expect our customers to be inconvenienced by having to run around to different suppliers to get a product repaired that you’ve paid good money for. Glow products are our products. If there is ever a problem, we fix it. We will arrange for the product to be either conveniently repaired onsite or picked up and delivered back once it’s repaired.
Purchasing inferior products online from overseas websites or auction sites may save you a few dollars upfront, but many of these companies do not provide the after sales care and support that cheaply made products need. They can bypass your rights as a consumer by ignoring Australian consumer laws or simply shutting up shop and disappearing.
As a last note of advice on purchasing LED products or any products, remember these sayings that we have all heard before:
“If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.”
&
“The bitter taste of poor quality remains much longer than the sweet taste of a low price.”
