Re: Fw: [greenyes] LED not Replacable

["Bruce Arkwright,Jr" <powerbysun@no.address>]

 I have wiggled and tugged all the wires (I was once
an electronic tech). The point is this product is not
reusable or recyclable anymore. One little light goes
bad, all is bad. This is not sustainable and I would
have never had of bought this product had I know.
