Mod: This item & seller are from overseas and thus doesn't have an Aus tick to ensure safety of the product. Buyer beware.
not at all :)
I think this product probably rates for a Aus cross
Caution, fellow ozbargainer.
MyLED will only refund the product price (9 cents in this case) if the product is faulty. And the claim procedure is very lengthy and tedious.
This adapter is non-compliant. You cannot use an ES to BC adapter due the the thread of the ES having a 50% chance of being connected to the active, thus causing a risk of shock or death upon contact to the ES metal thread.
If you buy something from this store after all the warnings on here, you deserve it.
This is the reverse, and they (bayonet-screw) are sold in this country although I wouldn't knowlingly buy any non-compliant/uncertified 240V electrical item.
It's not the reverse… You screw an e27 bulb into it . There is a chance the thread will become live
Apparently not a big enough chance for B to E adapters to be banned in this country. Any idea why that would be the case?
What, no answer? No surprise.

There are no answers to your question because it is such a stupid question.
Unsafe, dangerous, electrical goods and accessories, that have not been certified to meet Australian standards, are not "banned" as such. However, under the legislation it is a breach to import them, to sell them, to supply them, and to install them.
@A3Australia: the question has nothing at all to do with compliance or certification of a particular (myLED) product. The claim is that these connectors are inherently dangerous - one rabbit even claiming that they had a 50% chance of causng a live screw thread. Bollocks. If you, or anyone can show me any credible evidence that these connectors are unsafe (not myLED's products) please feel free to do so. I'm sure Australian safety standards authorities would love to know because currently there are plenty of them on the market.

Actually, you asked why these items were not "banned".

You are not thinking properly (or at all) about the problem with these particular devices. The internal screw thread has a 50% chance of being 'active'. If so, when screwing a bulb in or out of the adapter WHILE the adapter is inserted in a live (switched ON) lamp socket, there is a possibility of receiving an electric shock by ones fingers touching the metal screw section on the bulb.
I know that ideally one should never insert or remove a bulb from a lamp while the power to said lamp is switched ON. However, for some reason some people do this.
I also know that ideally the screw type bulb should be inserted/removed while the adapter is NOT inserted in any lamp. However, there is always the chance this will happen.
I'm sure Australian safety standards authorities would love to know because currently there are plenty of them on the market.
There are still lots of illegal, dangerous devices on the Australian market - not just the illegal, dangerous, crap being sold INTO Australia by unconscionable Chinese sellers.
There are local Australian sellers supplying illegal, dangerous, crap right here.
For example, from here in Surry Hills Sydney.

These are the same type of AC Wall Chargers involved in the recent death of a local women.
@A3Australia: Wrong on at least two accounts. I asked why B to E adapters weren't banned if they are inherently unsafe. The reason? They aren't. There is NOT a 50% chance of the screw thread being live despite what you think. However, I'm prepared to concede IF you can provide any credible evidence to the contrary. That's 3 opportuniities you and others have had to respond with fact and so far we've seen nothing more than your unsubstantiated assertions.

As I attempted to explain previously. Nothing is "banned" as such. Electrical/Electronic goods and accessories (yes, even simple adapters) must be certified to meet Australian Safety standards. If they have not been certified as safe, under the legislation it is a breach to import them, to sell them, to supply them, and to install them.
The reason? They aren't. There is NOT a 50% chance of the screw thread being live despite what you think.
Actually, I said "active". Not "live". In any case, if the adapter does not carry the certification (and not a fake certification as so many of the Chinese products do) it is unlawful to sell, supply, and install, in Australia,
However, I'm prepared to concede IF you can provide any credible evidence to the contrary. That's 3 opportuniities you and others have had to respond with fact and so far we've seen nothing more than your unsubstantiated assertions.
You just don't get it.
There is NOT a 50% chance of the screw thread being live despite what you think.
Tell us why then?
However, I'm prepared to concede IF you can provide any credible evidence to the contrary.
Oh I see, you make a statement in complete disagreement with what everyone says, but it's everyone else that has to supply the evidence?
@pmupsinep: I see you're on to me. How dare I make a ludicrous comment without evidence eh? Here's a clue for you and your playmates: when you make a claim - ludicrous or otherwise - it's normal practice for you to be able to back it up with even a tiny bit of evidence. I get it all right. Neither of you, or the two previous Faraday's for that matter, have any idea about the product in its many varied forms, or the safety of same.
Could it be apt enough to avoid such unfortunate evidence, by adhering to principles of education and reasonable safety mgt.
ensure insulation adequate= valid, failing 1.
may come from
a. lawful bulb [possible a Cree or non- My led, and others]
b. gloves (for when 2. a loss for some competitive reason)
c. adapter. Providing that potentially dangerous bulb are pre-fastened, securely before pressing into lamp fixture solely by use of insulated stem connector.
@pmupsinep: While you're trolling the interweb for evidence I suggest you also look up the word "irony" because it's obviously lost on you.
@Possumbly: I would ask you again to post your evidence, but you're temporarily banned. Surprise surprise. Guess we'll have to wait. What a shame.
I am also interested in the compliance of myled parts to australian standards. The last LED lights I purchased have no markings on them.

You have been informed - over and over again - that everything supplied by this seller is illegal to import, to supply, and to install, in Australia.
Now I am informed. Will bin them. Not putting my family at risk over a couple of cheap led light.
5 PCs? And here I thought it was an LED light for your PC or laptop.
How about '5x B22 to E27…' next time.
no lamp - title misleading.

Vote so we can push the change to add a warning to these posts.
In future, just hit the report link and we'll add a warning to a post.
Rather than "Buyer Beware" OzBargain should just delete all posts of illegal or dangerous products.
"Buyer Beware" is usually associated with poor quality or losing money not risking your life.

29 vs 6.. Is that enough to roll out this change neil?neil on 09/09/2014 - 13:35
I think so.Will discuss with mods.
Need to come up with proper wording.
May need to rollout a new feature so that all deals from x store, will have a default text. This will be useful for not only warnings but tips/tricks for other stores.
In future, maybe we can follow through with the new feature that includes default text.
I've had a bad experience with these guys. Bought some of the Solar Powered LED Lawn Light (4 LED) https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/156638 . One was Dead on Arrival. I have tried to contact them a few times and only now, 2 months later received a reply.
Here's their reply "If you would want a new replacement, you may need to take a video for us just to show the process how you operate the light and it just does not light up. After we confirm the case, we will arrange to send you a new one."
If I was trying to rip them off I could easily make a video that represented a Dead on Arrival light.
a. Buy where you would get invoiced amount (_than supposedly $.09) refund
c. review from time to time price-competitiveness local safety bulb v (Cree)$5
b. Handle only with gloves
(overseas vaguely bright junk: dangerous/unlawful)
Aus tick?
