Then the PS attack backs and the PM messages and it all starts all over again with no regard whatsoever for the light bulb which is still being pointed out by dozens does not really belong here anyway

Ramsey why did you revive this thread?

 

[XJ Dreamin']

Light bulbs made in China suck!

 

[Begster]

XJ Dreamin, I fully disagree with you. Have you ever used any lightbulbs from China? People seriously underestimate these chinese light bulbs because they think that since they hear other people say they are crap, so they must be. They don't actually use them theirselves. I have never had any problems with Chinese lightbulbs.
But then again, I do use GE lightbulbs...

I go to Home Depot and I buy a box of 60w light bulbs. I screw one into a lamp. Waaay too soon the bulb is out. I go to unscrew the bulb and the epoxy that is supposed to hold the glass in the base has failed. You start to unscrew and twist the leads together and the damn thing arcs and scares the crap out of me. I look at the box and it says "Made in China".

That's what I know. I'm converting everything to compact flourecent. they're still made in China, but they seem to be of nominal quality. In my experience, incandecent bulbs made in China suck.

JMHO YMMV eace:
