        I had 3 of these running in Summer 8x7 as part of a desk lamp and although they got really hot to the touch (talking SanDisk Ultra Fit hot), none of them died or showed any signs.

        Hot to the touch but not really hot enough to do any damage to the components or start a fire.

        • PJC on 17/03/2017 - 23:49

    • jv on 18/03/2017 - 08:38

      Cashrewards refund will come through based on the pre-coupon price so should be a 9c refund.

      • PJC on 18/03/2017 - 10:21

        Not according to OP. So now I can prepare a forum post like https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/291590.

    Just been chatting with Gearbest. Interesting stat.

    The reason the first 500 sold out so fast is because the code was picked up in Spain, Russia, Ukraine, NZ & UK.

    First 500 sales:

    • Australia 298
    • Spain 141
    • Russia 30
    • Ukraine 23
    • NZ 7
    • UK 1

    They've now put a block on other countries so they're avaliable only in Australia & NZ (OzBargain & Choice Cheapies of course).

    Good luck with the remaining 500 :)

      It won't let me buy even though I'm in australia using an australian ISP with no VPN.

      "This coupon code cannot be used for Orders to United States"

      My ISP MyRepublic. I blame them! Although I thought they fixed this after users were complaining Foxtel Go rejected MyRepublic customers from using their service.

          (=
          I used a backup connection and got it working.
          Even though MyRepublic is an AU ISP.
          Changing the Gearbest Ship To country to Australia and Currency to AUD won't fix this issue either. The setting at the top of the page.
          Hopefully this information can help improve GearBest.
          But not all that necessary, MyRepublic probably only accounts for 1-2% of Australians on the NBN.
          But here, the value conscious OzBargainer is likely higher.

    • d1s34s3d on 17/03/2017 - 21:39

      I've got 2 orders still outstanding from gearbest. Managed to get a refund eventually for first item through PayPal as gearbest refused to do anything to assist. Second item was only 9c so couldn't be bothered chasing it up.

      • ozy on 17/03/2017 - 21:49

        And this sir/mam is the reason why you'd have to pay 7c instead of 2c after a paypal refund.
        It's money.
        If you don't respect it, you'll be poor all your life.

        I don't mean to troll your arse, but you can mark my words on your broke arse death bed while your family count shrapnel to pay for your funeral! Respect 1c, it's not worthless.
        Travel the world and you'll see!

          My time dealing with gearbest and then PayPal is worth more than 9c.

          Great presumptions by the way. Way off the mark by a long shot. I could provide details etc but you shouldn't feed the trolls.

        • ozy on 17/03/2017 - 22:19

          @d1s34s3d: If you see it as work, then think of the free work you did to buy in the first place.

          Also I didn't presume, you didn't get the refund because you didn't want to, if you don't get the money you work for then you receive none.
          If you receive none and die, your family will fork the bill, or government should you have no family.
          All facts from under my bridge ;)

        • d1s34s3d on 17/03/2017 - 22:33

          @ozy: The presumptions being that I'm poor and will die poor and that I haven't travelled the world to understand the value of money.
          Those were the ones that were way off the mark and rather offensive.

        In the garage under one of the shelves where we have frequent use and the garage light doesn't quite reach. We were thinking of ways to get light there and this seems like a good solution - just waiting for the tronsmart hub to arrive now and then use a couple of the slots for these.

          People worry too much about semiconductor temperatures. E.g. silicon is rated to 125C for normal operation. That's enough to burn your finger. A good measurement of the actual device is needed, finger feel is unreliable. You can bet that the inside of your wall wart SMPS is hotter than the surface of the case.

          Sure, if it's a CPU, you should take care, and it performs better cooler. But this is a cheap LED.
