Are These Wall Packs Good or Junk?

[Joethemechanic]

I already ordered them so I guess I'll find out

They are going inside on the wall under the garage door tracks. When you open the doors everything under them is in a big dark shadow now.

Nothing but the best.

Just wondering. Not sure where they are made, but the company is in Hong Kong




I figured I'd start small before I went all out

410.6 Listing Required. All luminaires, lampholders, and retrofit kits shall be listed.

99% of counterfeit UL labels originate from China.

Best practice keeps domestic suppliers liable for listing violations that void property insurance.

I've seen so much in the way of counterfeit materials and parts lately I'm really not trusting any of it. Supposedly even a large percentage of grade 8 bolts are counterfeit and really grade 5 or worse

You should see the auto and truck parts market. Totally flooded with counterfeit parts. Trusted brand names on the boxes, you need to have a real box and a counterfeit side by side to pick up on the subtle differences

Ok so my Chinese Hudbel wall packs came today, they are nice and bright and the UL # checks out



But what box are they supposed to be mounted on? Nothing lines up with the factory knock out screw holes. A 1900 will cover the rectanglar hole where the wires come out, , but I'm drilling 2 new holes to make that happen. Maybe I should have ordered those Chinese Stiel Cidy boxes too
