  Bought 39 3/4 led ***** markers lights and 39 wire portals in may of 2023 . Fast forward to August **************************************** 2 a week from that point on . They have lifetime warranty on them . Today I tried to warranty 6 more and they now deny my lifetime warranty and tell me I have an electrical issue in my brand new truck that are burning these lights out . I asked for a refund then because they would not honor their own warranty anymore . They said no , I could send them back for on store credit or keep what I have. I dont want anything to do with this company anymore the customer service is horrible there is no follow up Im told a different story every time Id call. . I had to buy additional lights to keep on hand to keep replacing the burnt out lights .

  Mr. ******* purchased 44 lights and, since August 2024, has exchanged 21 bulbs for a total of 7 exchange requests between August 2024 and February 2025. He has received very thorough troubleshooting assistance from our senior product support specialist, our product trainer, and our test lab which had determined the issue to be a result of an electrical barrier in the customer's application. The customer was given a free return shipping label to return  the units back to us for store credit, and to purchase an alternative product. The customer refused all solutions, other than an exchange of the identical product. 

   

  This is the response that has been given to the customer prior to this complaint: 

  Hello ****,
  After reviewing your account it appears that our senior product support specialist, product trainer, and test lab all dedicated time to troubleshooting your application. After putting the product in our testing chamber and taking the product to negative temperatures over night, the lights were still functioning. It was determined that there is an electrical barrier that is preventing the lights from functioning properly in your application.
  Rather than continue to exchange an incompatible product, our team has provided a pre-paid shipping label to return the product for store credit, which we've recommended to be used to purchase a new product that, we believe, would be a solution for you.
  If you would like to proceed with this solution, please contact us directly and one of our customer service representatives will be more than happy to assist you. Thank you for choosing Super Bright LEDs for your lighting needs.

  I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:
  
  i do not want any other product from this company. From the way Ive been treated to the poor customer service I want my money back. I have had to purchase a better product because what they carry does not work for me. They chose to void my lifetime warranty due to their poor product. I was never given a label for all lights to be returned. I was sent a label for 3 lights to be warrantied. 
  all lights are in a box waiting for refund. 
  
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ******* *******

  

  Business Response

  The lights were originally purchased in 2023 and used in a different vehicle at the time of purchase. It's not until a new vehicle was purchased and used that the customer began to experience issues. The first return was filed more than a year after the lights were purchased and the lifetime warranty was honored. We are unable to continue honoring the warranty on this product without any remedy to the electrical barriers as this is a violation of the warranty; the lights are being shorted out. 

  Store credit was offered to continue honoring the warranty on the still functioning lights without depleting our inventory. We are unable to issue a refund due to the length of time that has passed since the original purchase was made (12+ months).

  I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:

  they are lying about the lights and when they were purchased . The lights were purchased back in may of 23 I believe. So the lights were well over a year old before they started burning out. I did what they asked and I installed a voltage regulator per irvs request. The discussions in the phone do not match with the discussions you are describing in email. You sold me a poor quality light and now you are choosing to void the lifetime warranty . Why would I want to purchase anything else from you ? Reading other complaints you have giving money back to make customers happy . That is truly one thing you lack is customer satisfaction and communication skills to say the least . 
  you lied about a return label being swnt to me for all lights to be returned at no time was there ever a label sent to me for all the lights . 
  your voiding the lifetime warranty due to your product shorting out is not why I purchased through you . Please send me a label for all the lights and refund my money so I can remove the negative posts all over ******** about your product and customer service . 
  
  
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ******* *******

  I purchased an LED controller from them. The first one dies within 24 hours of first use. They offered a replacement, which I waited several months for. That replacement unit then also died within a short time. They would not let me return the item for a refund becuase I was now outside thier return window. Keep in mind, they caused the delay with the backorder which pushed me outside the window. This is the second time one of their controllers has died. Bottom line is they are selling cheap Chinese junk, and clearly dont do the right thing. I hope the 30 dollar controller was worth losing a customer! Sad part is they dont care!

  I only give a 1 due to I cannot give a zero. The item was damaged in shipment. UPS stated that we refused the product. It wasn't attempted to be delivered. I call company and tell them what is going on. They state to me that they can see UPS has the package and is returning it to them. Yet, they refuse to reship or refund until they get it back. That is bad faith business. They verified that I do not have it and it's being returned by shipper. Also, they will not refund shipping cost.

  I contacted Super Bright LEDS to check which bulb was correct for my vehicle. I was sold headlight bulbs that customer service said was compatible with my vehicle. When I installed the new headlight bulbs, they would not turn on. They were either the incorrect bulbs or defective. I returned the headlight bulbs and the company failed to refund my shipping costs, even though they were the ones that recommended the bulbs. I do not think it's fair for me to take a loss based off what they told me would work for the vehicle. I would have never bought the headlight bulbs if they told me it might not work. I have reached out to them explaining the situation multiple times but they refuse to refund the shipping costs. Horrible customer service that won't accept responsibility for their mistake, while making me pay for it.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I have received the refund for the shipping. Its too bad people have to resort to a BBB complaint for them to take responsibility for their mistake. Many others have experienced the same and had to either file a BBB complaint for credit card dispute.

  I purchased a few items on 11/28/22 and I'm still waiting on the products 5 weeks later. I've reached out to their customer service 4 times and I've been told that the products will arrive on December 10th the first time, then December 15th the second time, then December 27th the third and December 30th the fourth. Contacted them today and was told that it will be here "Today" but it hasn't moved from the last place since December 10th. Their customer service has been absolutely no help. I just want my products or a full refund.

  Our policy is to wait 30 business days to consider an order "lost". There has been no movement since 12/10 for this customoer.  We did re-ship order to customer on 1/11.  Current tracking shows *** has had the package as of 1/13. Per tracking number, the shipment is in Texas and in-route to the **** branch for final delivery. This was at no charge to customer.

  I ordered $4500 of LED lights for a construction project in August of 2022. Due to the scheduling of this project, electricians were not able to install these lights until December of 2022. Upon opening the boxes, it was clear that these lights had been heavily used. The sheet metal was bent, the plastic diffusers were all cracked, there was missing paint, and one light even had scorch marks on the back. One light also had multiple handwritten markings done in sharpie. The shipping boxes were not visibly damaged. It is highly improbably that rough handling could have caused that level of damage to the housings of the lights, let alone written on them in sharpie. This model of light has since been discontinued for reasons that have not been disclosed to me. When I approached customer support, I was told that since it had been longer than 90 days, they would not accept a return. They would do a warranty replacement of these lights, however I would be responsible for the shipping costs, which would be $500-$900 depending on the carrier. It is frustrating to pay for new, quality goods, and receive defective and damaged merchandise. It is completely unacceptable to expect me to pay that much extra (let alone the cost of my electricians' time) to get the merchandise that I paid for. I would be happy to return these at no cost to myself for a cash refund, or, at minimum, a replacement with vetted, equivalent merchandise.

  Hello ****,
  
  We apologize for the damage your order experienced. Unfortunately, our policy clearly states that we do not provide cash refunds or store credit outside of the designated return policies. If we would have had advanced notice of this damage we could have sent a free return label and gotten replacements or a refund. Our warranty exchange policy does cover any damage outside of our 90 day return/store credit policies. However, we do require the customer to pay to ship the damaged products back to us. We can then send out new products at no extra cost to the customer.
  
  We can see that you’ve already been in contact with our customer advocate team. They have agreed to send out new lenses for your lights at no additional cost to you, but we will not be able to refund your order due to the length of time it's been. Please make sure to check your orders once you receive them so we can have ample time to replace any damaged or wrong products.
  
  Best Regards,
  Super Bright LEDs

  I purchased a set of LED headlight bulbs from Superbright LEDs.com and their web site says they come with a lifetime warranty. After a few years of use, one of the lights started shining a blue color instead of the white color they are supposed to be. I contacted the customer service department and told them what the problem was. I said I waned to exchange the lights since there was a lifetime warranty. The service department approved the exchange and told me to ship the lights back to them and they would ship a new set back out to me. I shipped the lights the next day. Now, about 1 months later, they have not shipped the new lights to me. I have contacted customer support several times and they keep telling me that they are too busy to ship the new lights to me. These are the headlights for my vehicle. I just want them to honor the warranty that they state on their web site.

  On 10/30/22 I ordered various LED bulbs from the above mentioned company. On 10/31/22, I received an email stating that my package had shipped and was estimated to arrive by 11/3/22. As of 11/7/22, the company states that the package has been shipped, but according to USPS tracking, they never received the package. The company keeps reassuring me that the postal service will update me on my package, but they have no record of ever receiving a package. With no proof that it has ever been sent, it seems that I paid for products that the company refuses to ship. I would like the package that I paid for to be sent to me in a timely fashion as originally agreed upon. USPS TRACKING NUMBER - ********************** SUPERBRIGHTLEDs ORDER NUMBER - *********

  We do installs across the country for our clients so we rely on our vendors to do their jobs correctly. SBL shipped out 105 bulbs instead of the ordered 112, there was no notification of the missing bulbs, we found out during the install on the other side of the country. Naturally our customer was upset that we could not finish the install we were hired to perform so we had to credit them the install cost along with the missing bulbs. SBL was extremely rude along with the team lead, my only 2 options were a credit for the 7 missing bulbs or them sending the 7 missing bulbs. I’m just supposed to eat the cost of the botched install because SBL can’t do their job?

  Hello ********,

   

  We apologize for the mix-up in shipping out your order. As we stated before we could either send out the missing bulbs or refund you for the cost of the bulbs. From our records we can see we've already gone ahead and refunded your money for the cost of the missing bulbs. Super Bright LEDs does not cover lost labor costs or wages. In cases like this when given the opportunity to fix shipping issues we can ship out the missing items with expedited shipping to get you them as fast as possible. However since we weren't aware of the missing items until a month after delivery we weren't given the ample time to remedy the missing items. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may of caused and we will work with our customer advocates/fulfillment team to ensure they're better trained to handle issues like this.

  Hello *****.

   

  We will be refunding you, $21.29, the cost of the products only as it is stated in our policy that we do not offer refunds on shipping. We offered you a refund twice within your ****** dispute, but you declined each offer and the case with ****** has been closed. After reviewing your order we found that we sent the exact products you ordered and when we received them back we tested that they are in working condition.  If you would of contacted our product support team first instead of disputing the charge on ****** they may of been able to help you solve the issue with your products or get you a faster return. You should see a refund equal to the cost of the products in your account within a few business days.
