[Resolved]  Wipro CFL 36 W tubelight — Wipro CFL worse than ordinary electric bulb

yes Girija Prasad,

I Agree I bought 4 Wipro CFL's paying 15 times the GLS bulbs as one time investment . All are dead with in 6 months written to Wipro Customer care at "customercare.[protected]@wipro.com" on 29th june 08 almost 6 moths past as today is 27th Sep 08, the letter is not even been acknowledged .

Hi Guys,
I would think both of you are at fault to having bought products from Wipro, a typical Indian attitude company selling worthless products. Pleez do try other CFLs say Havell or even Phillips or osram. They will be true to your satisfaction and dont ever try any other Wipro stuff. Its a wastage of your money.

Good luck

I agree with all the complains about Wipro CFL's. I am using CFLS for the past 10 years. I used Philips, Osram, Bajaj and wipro cfls. I have now in my house about 6 Osram CFLs and one Bajaj ( only one I bought) and one GE gone bad. Yet to see any Wipro CFLs going bad. I keep the old ones because of environment concern. I wonder whether there is any other method to complain the poor quality of the bulbs. Wipro should attend the complain and so they can improve the quality. There is no strong consumer forum take it up this.

I have had all cfls 18w 25 w philips and wipro in my home. 2 philips have conked off before 2 years. I think the whole hype of CFLs lasting longer 10000 hours or something is complete bull . We are better off buying normal tubelights. May be the cfl technology might have changed since i purchased them 3 years back. But for my new ventures i would strongly compare the price to life ratio of cfl and tubelight before putting 200-250 bucks for a bulb which isnt going to last even for 2 years.

Even some electrical shops have stopped selling Wipro CFL's any more. I bought one CFL in April last year. It just conked out. When I took it back to the shop they first told me that they do not sell Wipro CFL's anymore - too many complaints, too many failures.
Doe anyone know how to to replace this bulb? When I look the internet, the related Wipro site has a non-contactable "contact" icon. Does anyone have any phone numbers or customer care email id's for me to contact?

All,

Even i brought Wipro20W CFL from Spencers here in Pune almost year back and today the bulb fused and went to Spencers for replacement and the sales Manager over thier refused to take it back saying there is no guarantee on this product. If you need guarantee then go for Philips, whihc has got 1 year guarantee. Will write to Wipro, but after seeing all your comments, i beleive they wont even respond to me. At the end all i can say is NO MORE WIPRO IN MY HOUSE and will ensure that none of my friend will buy their product.

Guys, Miracle :)- i got the replacement for my CFL, Wipro person gave me the replacement at my door step. :)-

I totally agree with you guys, I brought a wipro CFL from big bazzar, It was a pack of 3 when i reached home shocked to see one of them is not working . guys kindly suggest me how to complain this to wipro

I purchased TWO CFL -Anchor make in sept-07.Both these lamps were used in passage and bathroom.We are a family of three adults-all three working .

Little over one year both CFL fused.Average usage was less than 45 minutes average per day.Since bulbs fused after ONE YEAR-shopkeeper refused for any replacement.

Is these manufactruers are FOOLING both literate and ill literate consumers and taking them for a RIDE and fleecing consumers under pretext of power saving ???

These manufacturers are creating BIG HOLE in consumers pockets and filling up their OWN pockets with lot of money ?

Is someone from GOVT/Consumer organisation listening ?? Can such CHEAT manufacturers of POOR QUALITY CFL PRODUCTS NABBED AND PUNISHED ???

Osram Trading (Regd) — They do Cheating Business

Osram Trading (Regd) new Delhi, is into supply of Raw material for Manufacturing CFL lamps, They have taken an initial investment of Rs.20000/- and now they are absconding. There Part time business offer is false. They will cheat you. Please do not invest.

Hello

I am also facing problems with Wipro CFL bulbs.. I bought 2 bulbs and both two got fused.

Yes, Wipro is not at all a lighting company. It is merely a trading company. For instance, the worst part is that the employees of Wipro are promoting OSRAM lamps in their project. Could there be anyother shameful thing in the world. A company pays salary to its employees of a certain division to promote / recommend / sale of competition product.

Hello Guys !

Well i don't know the replacement policies 2 years ago. But since last one year i have not come across a single complain. At wipro 100 % replacement policy is adopted. Since 2009, i am distributor of Wipro Consumer products and we do sell CFL's and GLS. Wipro provides 100 % replacement, but it is the shop keepers or the retail outlets those who do not compile with.


Within a year if any problem occours, it can be changed.

All people have told correct.But not only wipro even philips cfl bulbs results same..They simply give warranty 1 year, but exactly after 1 year bulb wont work.. All are junk products..Better we should go only for TUBE BULBS...

YES I had bought one WIPRO 23WATT TRIPLE U TUBE TYPE CFL from D-MART PUNE and it's got failed within 7months. First I have found Wipro is worse company in lighting, please go for Osram or Phillips CFL's forquality products. And never purchase anything from D-Mart as they are saying we can give you 6months warranty only (even not mentioned on any documents) while company is offering 1year warranty.
