Total rip off company that uses UK…

Total rip off company that uses UK celebrities to falsify the vastly inflated product on Facebook Meta, why do they allow rip off companies to consistently advertise on its worldwide platform. All of their products can be purchased on Temo.com 75% cheaper inclusive of postage. Never received the products I ordered.

BEWARE NEVER BUY FROM THEM.

BEWARE NEVER BUY FROM THEM.
Took weeks to arrive, parts missing. Took weeks to sort out with so called 'customer services'. They wouldn't refund me. New one eventually arrived. NOT WORKING.
Months wasted of my time! Also very expensive compared to competitors; I thought it would work and be of better quality, hence the price

This company is selling junk that does not work as described and is not fit for purpose. When you try and raise issues with their customer services, there's no response. The Trustpilot reviews on their website are fake and they're going to be reported to both Trustpilot and Trading Standards.

Amazing products!

I recently bought from Solar Energy 2 Bollard lights which was a set and 3 wall lights and had 0 expectations but in fact when I received the product in 4 days I was amazed! It not only was as described but also works and saves me a lot on energy bills !! I guess everyone has a different experience but I personally Definitely recommend!

Duped into buying from a Facebook ad…

Duped into buying from a Facebook ad that seemed to offer exactly what I was looking for, and only ordered because it said dispatched from uk stock. Liars. The parcel was stuck in a Chinese airport for days and delivery was well over 2 weeks. Funnily enough their customer service representative responded to my email sent at 10pm within half an hour, of course that's during the day in China lol! even funnier, he was called John Smith and there was a photo of him, your typical English nerdy type. A quick reverse image search on Google gives the bloke a different name, his photo being stolen from the internet. So why all the lies and deceit? Having said that the solar light seems to fit my purpose, however there were no instructions, after an email "John Smith" sent a pdf....so why not just include it with the product.

It's definitely not a legit company

It's definitely not a legit company. There is nothing in Companies house for this address or business name, the domain was only registered on 22nd January 2022 and there is no phone number or any contact details. Their address is also fake.
Don't buy from them, they sell the same Chinese products you find on Amazon or Ebay, only at 3x the prices. If you have a problem, good luck to find anyone.
Also, they say 7-14 days shipping, it's 100% from China.

Dazzling Rip Off!

SolarEnergyLighting are a Chinese company selling on FaceBook that pretends to be a UK company. The Solar light I paid £30 for:
"IlluminateSolar™- The Ultimate Solar Powered LED Street Lamp"
Would be over priced at £10. Steer well clear!
