WeHonest (eBay) street lights?

[Dusty Solo]

I have bought only Palm trees from these guyson their eBay store. I needed quantities and the plastic trees the sellers in China have suit my layout fine. They ship fast and cheaply and the trees look good after some detail painting and shading. Although I don't need any of their lights right now if I did I need lights I would buy from them without a second thought.

So long.

Dusty.

 Some say HO / OO and some just say HO. Hey, there honest!

I see he offers differant voltages what would be the default voltage for HO 12volt ?

12 V normally, although many people run their lamps at a bit lower voltage to lengthen the life of the bulb (I'm assuming these are incadenscent bulbs and not LEDs or anything).
Wow, it just hit me that they are selling lamps 20 for US$16.00, about the same price Walthers would charge you for (1) one MSRP.  They are not that detailed, but would be good for background EXCEPT the vendors claim OO/HO scale - since OO is 1:76 vs 1:87, would these lamps scale out too big for the mid-ground./background?

Is there any custom fees?

I have purchased a number of items, trees, lights and fencing from this vendor. Quick delivery.

The lamps I bought were the old time ornamental street lights. The detail on the lights is good, the finish is good. The lights are as good if not better than what I have seen in hobby shops.

I wired a number of these onto my layout and they have lasted for over a year to date.

I would have spent a lot more had I purchased these items elsewhere.

I do not think you will regret your purchase.

Matt,

Sent you a PM...

I've never purchased anything from this seller, because I don't buy anything that ships directly from China.  Just my personal preference......

Matt,

  I have bought lot's of servo motors and HO trees from several of these Chinese eBay vendors - very fast shipping!  I have never had a problem.

I've been looking over eBay for street lights (to see what is out there) and stumbled upon some lights sold by: wehonest_cn

Here is a link to some of their lights:

i.html?nkw=Street+Light&sacat=19128&dmpt=ModelRRTrains&ssn=wehonestcn&odkw=light&osacat=19128&trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

The prices are great for the amount of lights you receive.  However I'm wondering how well made the lights are.  They are from China, but then again so are most of the higher priced street lights from the major HO scale manufacturers.

I'm not expecting anything with great detail or great assembly for the price.  But I'm also not really looking for ultra detailed and expensive per item street lights.  Basically just something that lights up and looks like a street light.  And if the colors are a little strange, I can always paint them.

Has anyone purchased any of these lights for use on your layout?  If so, what do you think?
