I called Consumers Union who publishes Consumer Reports. The rep there
(James) indicated that I have to go to Consumer Reports.org, then find the
'contact us' section, and then the 'letter to the editor' tab. At that
point I can offer the item to be tested to see if they would do so. They
likely will not be able to or agree to return it which is ok with me. The
$49 cost of this POS would be a small cost to pay to have them all
eventually thrown in a dumpster behind a store/any store near you. -Mike

Mike,
Do they accept unsolicited devices or are they paid by
someone to review them, e.g. a retail chain, manufacturer, etc?

I think I will call Consumer Report Magazine and offer to send one of
these 12v AC low voltage exterior landscaping bulbs that came from
Lowes. Perhaps they will agree to test it and at some point, offer to
slam it in some future issue....might be an 'attention getter' on a
number of levels.
