  I purchased 3 of the security flood lights from ****** and had them installed on a new construction home November 2024. When I tried to connect them to my wireless internet the cameras would not read the qr code and if it did and tried to connect, they would timeout and not connect. I contacted **** in the middle of December and responded to their questions on how far from the router the camera is, 15ft, what internet I'm using, T-Mobile, model number of router. I did not hear back from them so I sent another email on January 13th. On the 15th I got a voicemail and called them back and left voicemail. They told me to try reading the qr code at night to eliminate glare, which I did to no avail. I did not hear back so I sent another email on the 20th. On the 23rd I got a response to send a screen shot of my phone settings which I did immediately. A tech called me and we went through all the settings and the setup process, again it did not work. **** said he would check with other techs and get back to me within a couple hours or at worst the next day. I did not hear back so on April 9th, I sent another email where they told me to use the app and file a feedback with all the info again. April 10th I answered them again and got a system response that a ticket has been opened on the 14th. On the 18th I sent another email asking if they were going to answer me and if anyone was reading the mail. April 30th I emailed again since I still got no response and I told them I was going to the BBB or they could just refund the $225 I spent on these lights and I would gladly throw them in a box and return them, and still have not heard back.Any help you can provide to get these camera lights to work, but at this point I would prefer to get my money back and be done with them.Thank you,*****

  The bulb the consumer purchased was last produced several years ago, and we no longer make it. Since then, we have introduced a new product with more features. While the product is no longer covered by our warranty, we can offer to send a complimentary replacement bulb. Our customer service department will contact the consumer to verify their shipping address shortly.

  We have received consumer complaint # ******** (R-001). Our head of technical support reviewed the complaint and left a message for a return call on April 1, 2025, at 8:11 a.m. Pacific Time. We will look forward to speaking with them. We also acknowledge the customer's problems with the smart security lights must be frustrating after contacting our customer support several times over the past months. We will make every effort to find a satisfactory resolution.  
  
  
  We have some concerns that are worth noting. We offer the following information that may provide information on the root cause of the problem. Eight cameras and other possible WIFI devices operating on one internet network may be causing a heavy bandwidth draw, resulting in some units not working correctly. This may be why three of the units have been problematic. We checked the online working status of smart security lights currently connected to the consumer's network and can discern that six units are online, and all have SD card features enabled and appear to be working properly. 
  
  
  On February 5, 2025, a customer service team member agreed to send one replacement. That leaves two additional units unconnected to the customer's WIFI network and not actively online. Before determining that replacing two more lights is necessary, we must confirm that there are enough network resources to operate all eight devices simultaneously. Otherwise, the problems will not be resolved and may continue.

  I am rejecting this response because: I returned Sico Diez, supervisor call. First he down played the representative telling me on January 10, 2025 the cameras were discontinued due to manufacturing defects. **** said the only improvement in the replacement is a better camera. I told **** I did not want a refund. I wanted all the cameras replaced. Because of the $2,000 installation cost for two electricians to install. **** claimed they only manufacture the cameras when they get an order from retailer. **** told me on Monday, March 31, 2025 he would call me back in 24 hours with the status of Feit Electric new camera inventory. Today is April 4, 2025 and I have not been contacted by ****.

  The consumer will receive a letter from our customer service department requiring their signature. Once signed and returned to our offices, we agree to send 7 additional upgraded replacement units within 10 business days of receipt. Upon receipt of the additional lights, the warranty replacement the consumer has requested will have been resolved. We ask the consumer to contact our customer service again if they have any concerns or would like to check the status of their claim. We will be pleased to assist further.

  I purchased around 40 Feit electric smart dimmer switches in December 2023. These are dimmer switches that connects to **** and can be controlled from the mobile phone or using Amazon ***** or ****** home. All these dimmers worked fine for few months and one by one kept going offline. Now 19 of them have gone offline and are being able to control remotely anymore and 4 of them are totally dead. I contacted Feit electric customer support on Oct ********* and after few follow-ups we had an over the phone troubleshooting session on Oct 31, 2024. But they were unable to resolve the issues. The support agent (************* N, *****************) asked me to provide the purchase receipts and the model number on the back of one of the failed units which I emailed shortly. But they did not get back to me as promised, until I call the support on Jan 21 2025 after sending many reminders through their ticketing system. After giving excuses for few days they asked me to send a video demonstrating the issues, which I did on Jan 23rd 2025. They acknowledged that the units are defective after seeing the video. But they are still reluctant to send me the replacements and delaying it saying that they need to discuss this with their management. There are many lights that I could not operate im my home due to the dead dimmer switches and many other lights cant be controlled remotely which defeats the purpose of installing these expensive smart dimmers. I would really appreciate if you could help in any way to resolve this matter.

  We have been in discussions with the customer. Our customer service department issued a call for the return of three units on February 11, 2025. The small parcel call tag was sent to the consumer's address, and the pick-up date is scheduled to arrive in ******, **, on February 17, 2025, between 1:15 PM and 5:15 PM. Based on the shipping timeline, we expect the return to arrive the week of February 24, 2025. Our QC and engineering department will evaluate the returned product at once to understand any possible malfunction. We will quickly assess possible defects and report back to the consumer. We can then determine the appropriate next steps, which may include replacements.  We ask the consumer to notify our customer service department when the shipment has been picked up so that we can track it.

  I purchased 2 solar lights for the exterior of our home. About 60 days after I installed them one stopped working. I submitted a claim to their warranty department and have had at least 10 back and forth emails with them.First this:1. Please swap the non-working solar panel with the working one and check again today to see if the issue persists. If it does, please reply to this email.2. Could you please provide us with the purchase receipt for the unit?3. Kindly share a picture of the back of the unit where the writing is visible.I complied and sent them the required info, photo's and the receipt.I then received this:In order to assist you further, kindly swap the battery in the unit and check if the issue still persists. Please return the unit to the store; however, we are happy to let you know that the retailer from whom you made the purchase has a generous return policy and will be happy to assist you with the best possible resolution. This will ensure that your concerns are addressed promptly and effectively.I had already tried swapping the battery AND sent them the photo's. I had also already attempted to replace at the Ace Hardware store but they only take returns w/in 30 days - not the "generous return policy" with the "best possible resolution". I am no longer in **** (where the solar light is) and now they are asking for more photo's showing where the light was installed. LACK OF SUNSHINE IS NOT THE ISSUE. IT WORKED FOR ALMOST A FULL MONTH... We are not back in **** until mid-January.I am infuriated that they are doing everything they can to put me off. I simply want them to send me a pack-slip so I can return the broken light and send me one that works.I purchased 4 lights from a competitor for $29 on ****** and they work just fine. These 2 Feit Electric lights cost $139 and one is already broken. I originally just wanted a replacement. If they can't replace then a refund is fine. This is insane.

  Business Response

  Date: 12/10/2024

  We apologize for the customer's trouble with one of our solar lights. Our customer service people try to troubleshoot connectivity and operational issues to help determine the root cause of the problem. In most instances, we can resolve issues in this manner. The consumer went to great lengths to work with our team, and we thank them for their patience and effort. Following a telephone call today with the consumer, a customer service representative agreed to accept a replacement light. We will prioritize shipping this replacement within the next ten business days. Once this replacement ships, we will consider this matter resolved and closed.  

  If there are any other difficulties, we ask the consumer to contact us again. We will be pleased to assist them.

  I purchased a **** "Smart Outdoor Camera" . I was not told there was two versions of the same Camera. They are called Gen1 or Gen2. The newest one beaning Gen2. After calling **** support ( ******) I was told the only way they could resolve the problem was for me to return the camera at my expense. They are not telling customers that there is a new version. I should not be penalized because of there lack of honesty.

  Business Response

  Date: 10/29/2024

  The two Wi-Fi cameras purchased by the consumer from an online retailer work and have no known defects. We have determined that the retailer shipped two different versions of the same product to the consumer on separate orders. The firmware of the two units differs, which is why the consumer is dissatisfied with the product's performance.
  Rather than request a return for replacement, we will send one replacement Wi-Fi camera directly to the consumer at the address below:

  Purchased LED lights in May of 2023. Sent email inquiring about warranty as they failed in less than a year.

  With over 2000 different products with varying warranties, it is possible that the product in question has a 2-year warranty instead of a 1-year warranty.
  
  Before we can initiate the refund process, we require a copy of the receipt for the product purchase. If the receipt has already been sent, we may not have received it. We kindly ask the consumer to send it to our customer service department to proceed.
  
  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and await the requested information.

  I purchased the smart flood lights from ******. They work and to my knowledge they are recording. I have not been able to view and store the security camera footage. I am wanting to file a small claims against a contractor and need the footage. They have no phone number, chat or email anymore to get help.

We suspected there was some discrepancy in whether or not a mobile number or email address was used for login credentials.  Our customer service member asked if the consumer would call the consumer directly on their phone line to help troubleshoot login difficulty.  But, they replied that they had rectified the problem by having another person or party resolve it.  We will be pleased to assist the consumer with resolving their ongoing connectivity issue.  We can be reached Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, during regular business hours.
