You are not a dim bulb, and I value your advice on electrical issues. (Even when you're drunk.)
I was in Home Depot tonight, looking for some curtain rods and curtains for the study/dedicated vintage audio room. I stopped in the lightbulb aisle and began searching for "Made in the USA". Man, what a depressing exercise that was. It appears that Philips and GE both still manufacture the large flourescents in the US, but that's it. Virtually every other bulb in that aisle came from China, ALL of them. A visit to the lamp aisle was even more depressing.
It seems like nearly everything is manufactured in China. Good grief.
A quick Google search revealed that the GE Lighting plant back home in Warren, Ohio is still operating. Although they did layoff 78 of their 400 workers back in September. They make specialty incandescents, and have been since 1911, believe it or not.
