13W Fluorescent Trouble Light, 18/2 6' SJTW

Handy light to have around

I received this item in mid-October of 2023 and put it to use. It ran daily for 6 hours a day from from October 15, 2023 to January 10, 2024. Not even 90 days before it stopped working. I thought it was just a cheap bulb so I put in a replacement - same wattage, configuration, etc. Plugged it in and no joy. Tried the new bulb in a similar fixture - works fine. Tried the original bulb from thie trouble light in that same fixture and it worked.My conclusion is that the switch or else something in the switch assembly is knackered.Cheap electronic materials and poor quality control. Funny that they can make a nice injected-molded piece of plastic but cannot get the parts you really need to work right.Save your money. Find an alternate.

nice

I got a great price on this item. Nice design but it broke about a week after I started using it. I think something went wrong with the bulb and bulb replacements cost just as much as a new unit.
