I've a couple of recent purchases I'd recommend avoiding. Both from the same supplier who doesn't seem interested in writing an accurate description of the goods.
First up is a pair of "air horns".
Obviously that is nonsense, a second's glance at the picture and you can see they're the ordinary solenoid type… but only make slightly more noise than the rusty old original I was replacing because it was about as loud as a wasp farting in a jam jar.
Secondly some "Spot Lamps" also described as "Fog Lights" or "Front Driving Lights".
Clearly they are none of these things, they'e just low power LEDs intended to be seen rather than to see with. What annoyed me about these is that the description states that they are waterproof, what you can't tell from the picture is they definitely are not… the lens is not sealed against the body of the unit and there's a hole at the back where the wires enter that will let water in.
