I've worked with these types of lights on boats and they are a nightmare to install and an even greater nightmare to remove when you need to change the bulb. If one of the spring arms doesn't break during installation, one will break during removal. This seems like a great idea and I hope it works well for him. As for Deborah, she obviously buys extremely expensive LED bulbs. Cheap ones tend not to last very long. Manufacturers make most of their money from replacement items, not life-long items. 50-year washing machines and fridges went out years ago.

The questions are valid, on a higher level. Why do you present a product, which [in his opinion] won't sell at all? 'Because I can' is not a good answer, because it costs money to do so. He wants to know if you understand that and not just make random things because you can. And why does your marketing straight up lie? False advertising penalties is one thing, worse issue is that makes you look dishonest. If you're lieing to customers, are you to the dragons?

1:35 I'm not an electrician, but I tried to install a lamp like that (but smaller): I took some time to understand how to do it properly. You have to force two springs while inserting the lamp into a hole. While you're almost there, the tendency is to stop holding the springs. Using the hole to force the springs might damage the ceiling or the lamp.

Wouldn't comment usually but MAN, their excuses were so awful.. Plasterboard? If it can stand a tension of a metal spring it would definitely stand an elastic rubber. The other went about manufacturing!? just correct it, it doesn't make the product itself bad. I think the product is genius and with little effort of marketing it would've been a great one. Honestly, their loss. In both, product and entrepreneur.
