Title: Poor quality
Product review: I understand that these are not very expensive items, but they simply fail at an unacceptable rate. Two out of the six I purchased have now failed. What's worse is that the failure mechanism is not repairable. I took one apart to see what went wrong, after all it was not working anyway. I found that the socket that the bulb plugs into is so poorly designed, that eventually (a few months after installation) it will fail, even if you don't touch it - I mean the socket, not the bulb. This is poorly engineered garbage. Don't waste your money. If it was free, I wouldn't pay the shipping. As an aside, while they are working, the 20 watt xenon light is great for undercounter kitchen lighting, it's just the fixture - from American (made in China) Lighting - that blows.August, 2009 update: I was sent two extras as replacements so I now own 8 units. Only two are still working. Much credit to the engineers at American Lighting for creating such a reliable failure mechanism.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
