Enco gloat
Just got in my latest buy from Enc. Nice halogen swing arm lamp, marked
down from $64 to $20. This along with the free shipping is an excellent buy. Lot better quality than I expected and nice looking as well. Heck the halogen bulb costs almost as much as the lamp. Not affiliated, just passing along a good deal. Chris http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PMAKA=PR325-5213 |

George, I sure as heck hope not. Than again maybe that is why they are on sale. It does say cheaply made in China, although better than you would imagine. It actually holds its position when you movement. For how long it does this is another question. Oh ya, it is 31 days. One day longer than Encos return policy. Brings up the question, in this day of cheap imports, who is liable when something like this happens? Are you going to sue a Chinese manufacture? Good luck. Chris |

I'd suggest, if you're going to sue anyone over that amount of money, that you sue Enco. They're not a Chinese company, or, if they are, they're a U.S. arm subject to our tort litigation (a good reason to feel sorry for anyone except tort lawyers). |

Charlie, Not referring to suing over the price of the light. I am talking about the damages. Say it caught fire and burnt the house down, and God forbid someone got hurt. Now that I think about it, is there a UL listing on this lamp. Running out to check....................... Chris |

They are American. Enco was the Harbor Freight of the 80s. Cheap imports
from, then, Taiwan and Poland. They had stores around and may still but the one here (Seattle) closed long ago. Harbor Freight has since moved in to take there place.
