I'm v sorry to hear that about the LEDs - hadn't seen the original thread and do not know the name of the company concerned but I would completely agree with the advice. LEDs for nav lights seem to me only acceptable in the light of assurances from the manufacturer. (Are they checking their insurance against litigation or shipwreck?!)

There are a number of times we have named people from whom we've had shoddy services or products - and believe me, the companies have known we were pissed off before we posted here. The only comeback we've ever had was from Square Mile after a litany of problems in Brighton. They emailed me expressing regret that I felt it necessary to make such comments; I referred them to earlier email correspondence and said that I would speak as I find. End of correspondence.

And it is of course true they hide behind distance, even here in Europe. Yes - I'm really going to (at my cost) ship my inverter to Britain from Portugal, for them to probably ship it to Holland then still argue that any problems are user error or something else!! Can't fault the people in Lisbon who came down to Portimao to help us sort it out (but can;t remember the name right now!)

So come on YBW - a piece of unbiased advice or complaint based on direct experience should be permissible and the lawyers should be less scared of the letters.
