Fabric Reviews 2

Bought a Lumaray light and after a couple of years the rechargeable battery died. Contacted Fabric.cc who said it couldn’t be replaced and the product should be binned.

Unsatisfied, and caring about the planet, I undid four screws, googled the battery number and bought a pack of three for a tenner on eBay. After 2 mins of clumsy soldering on two wires the light has a new battery and a new lease of life.

It’s a sad reflection on modern consumerism, health and safety madness and corporate greed that the accepted advice is to throw a perfectly serviceable product into landfill rather than advise on how to prolong it’s life.

I ordered a Lumaray light in April 2018. Due to production delays it was not delivered until June 2018, which was not a problem as I wasn't going to use the light until winter anyway. In July 2019 (1 month out of warranty) the mount holding my Garmin failed. I contacted Fabric who asked to me go through my retailer. The retailer spoke to Fabric who apparently were not interested. I appreciate the light was out of warranty but given that it was only a month the least I would have expected would have been some kind of discount against a replacement light. I'm now looking for a replacement but will not buy another Fabric product.
