Miserable quality from China - again SLV, never!

Now it was in my new condo aim is to place two pendant lights over the dining table. Originally only the Artemide Nur or the FLOS RAY came into question.

By chance I came across the pendant light PD-115 in black from SLV. On paper / the Internet a beautiful light and the idea of ​​a German company, were sympathetic to me. Long story short, I ordered two of these lights.

When unpacking "Made in China" - ok, there can indeed produce meanwhile many manufacturers.

But: The lampshades were already with small bumps and Mäckchen here. Then the painting itself: A mean disaster and, sorry, well below Ikea level. Such a botch I never expected from a German manufacturer, not that he will bear his name for such a thing. The paint is so bad that it is almost impossible to clean the screen because, cleaned, really stand out all the stain.

Then something in electrics / wiring: The red fabric to the line adjusts to high painting to - approve! And even worse, and ever will be accepted: When shortening the cable, there are two inner conductor, including cladding, which are indistinguishable after shortening. The colors blue and black / brown seem the company SLV strange - you can find two identical wire in absolutely identical envelope. A distinction is no longer possible after the caps of the line.

Anyway - once again proved true: Who buys cheap, buys twice. But that one gets as a qualitative manure by a German company fills me with more than thoughtful. Better to Ikea.
