MEIZHI and Spider Farmer LEDs warning

**Bazzo** · 07-01-20, 09:32 PM

WARNING !!!!!!!
Do not buy MEIZHI or SPIDER FARMER

So what has happened?
Well I’m a supplier or LED grow lights..
Last year I sourced
45 x 1200w MEIZHI
12 x 600w MEIZHI
4 x Spider farmer

All these are made by a company called LG-LED solutions ltd in China, and sold on eBay and Amazon by hydroponicselleruk or hydroponicsellerde or Spider Farmer

They run out of a rented office in Manchester with no direct contact possible.

The lights were distributed to 4 different locations.

Every single light failed within 6 months of purchase, but they were sold with a 3 year warranty. 1 year replacement and 2 years parts replacement.

After several emails regarding the failures MIEZHI finally sent 14 second hand drivers for us to replace (even though they promised new) and charged us carriage!
This did not fix the issues, they then ignored emails for several months until the lights were out of the first year warranty, and after threatening legal action they then told us that parts were no longer available!!

So now we are left with £15,000 worth of lights that do not work, all efforts to contact MEIZHI via eBay, amazon and email are now being ignored.
The failure rate on these Chinese lights is just shocking.

So please, before you buy anything from MEIZHI or SPIDER FARMER I urge you to think twice. The lights will fail, and you will not get any warranty on them at all.
For anyone interested I have copies of all the communications and lots of pictures of the failed lights..

Why are you buying £15K of lights?

He is/ was a supplier.

Sorry about the lights not working and thanks for the warning.
They have been getting good reviews but as always the cheap Chinese lights are prematurely failing with little customer services back up.

As with everything in life.. buy cheap, buy twice

If I had £15.000 to spend on light I would go for the latest technology, not out dated technology that's trying to blag as new and improved .

It's a rented office and would not surprise me if their post and calls are redirected elsewhere.

15K spent on lights and all failing within 6 months is just staggering. Really sorry for your loss and the e-waste you have to deal with. Hope you find a reliable supplier to work with for the future.

I'm yet to have a single return on hundreds of lights supplied. For anyone wanting the best quality Samsung, meanwell and hlg can offer please drop me a line.
