I bought an artistic light as a present from Amazon, for about £15. John Lewis had something that looked similar, but a bit nicer, and was about £100. Amazon light arrived two weeks later. Person plugged it in. Bulb immediately blew. Person replaced bulb. Ring main RCD tripped. Person gave light (now unwrapped) back to me. A 13A fuse was installed on a "110V max 100W" luminaire, with evidence of melted plastic (Britain uses 230 VAC, and a ≈1A fuse would be safe). Cheap Chinese crap is dangerous.
