Faulty Christmas Lights

Bought a set of outdoor Christmas lights 10 days ago in the Range. Been working fine till today - they're white & blue bulbs - and the white ones don't work. They're on for about 4 hours each evening.

I expected them to last a lot longer than 10 days. Will they exchange them for me under the Goods act as unfit for purpose? I have the receipt.

Or will they turn round & say "not our problem"????

    They should at least give you a refund (replacement may not be possible if they don't have any sets left).

    As its less than 6 months from purchase, its up to them to prove the fault isn't inherent. They may also ask to see proof of purchase but this doesn't necessarily have to be a receipt.

    Of course they should last longer than 10 days. I can't see them arguing if you take them back.
