If you are in Canada and have bought white or blue LED's they have been recalled. The manufaturer for this item is universal lite of montreal.
According to costco web site and stores they have been know to have electrical problems with them.
Now my experience with them YES THEY DO CATCH FIRE!!!!!! I have 7 set that have caught fire near the plug. Unfortunately I have 174 whiteset out there at my customers that I have to run out and change asap(6 set have already burnt), and 90 blue set too(1 set has burnt).
If you know anybody who bought some tell them!!!!

Edit: I have added a picture of the defect and what happend.
Update: Costco called me this afternoon to informe me they were interested in the 7 set of defective LED sets I have. It would seem I have the most of all and the worst of all. They need them to run test in an independent lab. It would also seem I have the only know case of a blue defective set.

Pinning this topic due to importance (which is also why it's here and not just the LED forum).
