Beware of fakes! fits led bulbs

i ordered 4 of these 2 of which were sealed with tape (clear) and the packaging is obviously a failed attempt to copy the original product and also the product numbers on the packaging do not match match the product number on the bulbs and the numbers are different even in the set I bought and the best part is I put all 4 in a 4 bulb fixture and turned on the switch and then the switch jumped out. 4 bulbs of 175mA 12w each should never cause a light switch to trip considering the old bulbs I replaced were four 75w bulbs and this has never happened before. I left these LED fakes on for about 15 minutes, then turned the switch off then back on, now I need to replace the switch, I started unscrewing one of these LED fakes and it was hot! Almost as hot as the lightbulbs they were supposed to replace. I had to wait a few minutes before I could take care of it and I put my old bulbs back in to see if the switch had been tampered with. The circuit breaker that powers this switch is fine, it also has a light in the hallway that appears to be still on. Now the question is who will pay the electrician to fix the damage caused by these fakes. The Sylvania website also states that their products are made in the USA.

Pros
  • stylish and modern design
Cons
  • slightly dented
