[SML] Recall of Philips 60W PAR 16 120V Halogen Bulbs, screw in base

[Barney Simon]

This makes me glad I am not in mass production… they made 370,000 lamps.  They have reports of 13 defective incidents in two years, and they have to recall all of them.

From that webpage:


: Importer: Philips Lighting North America Corporation, of Somerset, N.J.

: Manufacturer: Firstech Lighting Corporation, of Shenzhen, China

: Manufactured in: China



This sort of quality, plus the radically inconsistent color temperatures, are why

I try NEVER to buy any bulbs made in China.
