I purchased a box of 5 ft LED lamps...Wired the fittings to suit and tested...works.

So whats the problem...i start installing and connecting the light fittings and get my assistant to install the lamps...switch on and BOOOOM big bang.

It turns out that you cannot install PioLED lamps in the opposite way...the catch is this company is selling this product directly to the public...who might not be aware of this issue...nor can i find any certification...indicating that they are certified anywhere else in the world.

Checked a few PioLED light fittings for some for approval anywhere in the world...nothing...not even a country of origin...where they are manufactured etc...nothing.

I stripped a fitting thinking i might find a stamp of sorts somewhere on the fitting.

So the question...

do these light fittings not need some form of approval to be sold in SA?

Can you modify a fitting to suit these 230 volt LED lamps...which would change the integrity of the wiring...removing any form of certification for the fitting?
