Cheap Globes Short life


Another reality check from the cheap $2 shops that have littered the shopping malls and shopping strips of the neighbourhoods.

The product in question is the packet of globes illustrated. IT contains 4 globes that have a 7 watt rating with a connection type of Edison screw size 14.

The bargain may seem cheap at $4 for the packet, BUT the longevity of the globes is appalling.

Tests have been done, that indicate that the globe's lifespan is in the vicinity of tens of hours.

With the advent of globalisation, companies can sell us products made to a price with cheap quality, for huge profit.

These globes are worth cents and are sold for dollars.

China is feeding the world with cheap and nasty consumer goods, from the quality of clothes materials and stitching, to consumer electrics.
