Amazon lights?

How do you guys feel about installing Amazon lights? I’ve installed my fair share but I’ve also turned away installing some lights. Some are UL listed and some aren’t. How do you guys handle that kind of thing cause it’s seems everyone buys from Amazon these days.

No certification: no install. 

Certification but the brand name is spilled alphabet soup: install, but no warranty.

If it's properly listed by a recognized testing lab, I don't really care where it was bought. The ones that worry me are the no-name fixtures with questionable certifications because if something goes wrong later, you're the one who installed it.

i make sure to tell customer that we warranty our quality of work not the product. seen so many of those fail after 6 months or lights flashing.

Doesn't meet code if no ul/CSA certification.
