Sixteen dollars for a lightbulb?!

[carlfoxmarten]

I received the replacement Colour-changing LED Lightbulb that was missing from my last order today, and despite the fact that I was told that it would be marked as a replacement for what hadn't been in a previous order, was still charged $16.11, which meant that I paid duty, handling fees, and taxes twice on one item.

Fortunately, I'd been told that if I was charged, to keep the paperwork and let them know about it and they'll reimburse me for it.

I hadn't had time to call them back about my order coming in, so I'm going to try again tomorrow (Saturday, if they're open), though I may have to wait until Monday to call again.

Installation of the lightbulb was very easy:

1. Unscrew existing bulb in desklamp
2. Screw new LED bulb into desklamp
3. Turn desklamp on
4. Fiddle with remote control

It's been kind of fun to play with so far, though there are some buttons I haven't been able to figure out yet.
(for instance, Setup and Cancel. And no, it didn't come with an instruction manual)

Your link is lacking a link. ;-)

Bother... Fixed now.

Here's a link to the Colour-Changing LED Lightbulb with remote if you're interested.

Thanks. It's kinda cute. :)

It's rather handy to have a remote for it, that way I can set the light level and colour from my bed.

I've been setting it for red at the brightest level when I'm reading in bed, and smooth colour-cycling during the day for the entertainment value.
