I've had a different experience with Fiet products that I got through Costco. The bulbs hold up pretty well. They all still work even after an out of state move. Love them!

It may be ok for simple/normal light bulbs, but this light bulb has a rotating mechanical part inside. A cheaply made mechanical part that constantly moves is a ticking time bomb before it breaks down. In fact, one of the reviews specifically points out an issue where theirs started making a constant clicking noise. While this is cheap, it may not be worth it.

It's not even so much that the mechanism is "cheaply made" so much that it requires lubrication in order to mitigate wear (that clicking noise sounds very reminiscent of plastic gears slipping as they wear down and get sloppy).

That lubrication is where there's often issues, as it tends to get displaced as it gets too warm.

Assuming they properly lubricated the components, there shouldn't be an issue unless you subject the bulb to excessive heat.

Except that the review is saying it began happening within hours of installing it. Yes, it's cheaply made. Why else do you think they can afford to sell it at a low price even before this got on clearance?

Are you conflating cost of production with inherent defect?

Obviously, no manufacturer is going to deliberately spend R&D to produce something that fails. Conversely, there's no product that has a perfect run in manufacturing. It's why the FDA has an entire food defect levels handbook which allows for a certain parts per unit of insect matter in food.

Is it possible these have defects? Sure.

But to base decisions on one or two Walmart reviews is a problematic way to be a consumer. Everyone knows product reviews live on a bell curve.

As for why Walmart can sell it at a 70% markdown and still turn a profit: Because it's Walmart. If they bought these on volume for $1.50, that's still over 100% profit.

If those margins seem strange to you, you don't even want to know how much the shampoo you buy costs to make versus what they sell it to you for.
