 Q. What are gray goods? Does Techni-Lux sell these? |
A. No, Techni-Lux does not sell gray goods. We are authorized for all the brands we handle. Additionally we are licensed to handle special types of products such as lamps containing special gases.
Gray goods are products that were not made for the U.S. market or are being brought in illegally. They usually DO NOT carry the manufacturer's warranty. Manufacturers make products that may have different specifications for each country that they do business in. This may be due to different standards, languages or economic considerations specific to each country. A gray market product is any product that was built with the specifications for another country but resold in your country. These products may or may not function correctly because of different markings, power requirements such as cycles, voltages, etc.
Some websites will attempt to cover themselves with some fine print. Any site that mentions “May be missing original packaging, cables, manuals etc.” should be avoided, unless you want to risk buying an incomplete product.
If you see a deal that seems “too good to be true” take time to call and ask. Make sure they have a phone number and ask directly. Usually if asked directly, they will be up front about it. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

| Q. Won't my warranty cover a gray product if I get a defective product anyway? |
A. No. If the product did not come with a proper warranty it can't be covered under warranty in the US. In fact, you may not be able to get your fixture serviced at all within the US, even if you are willing to pay for it entirely yourself. So your only option for getting that product fixed may be to ship it back to the country you purchased it in.
