I’m sitting here looking at my latest purchase from Dollar General...DG 60watt bulbs: made in China as is GE and all of them. The last plant for Mfg here in the U.S. was shut down, I believe last month.
And yes, I’ve noticed that they blow out quicker lately.
Thought it wasn't just me and my wife's imagination, been using the step ladder a lot more frequently lately.
Not too surprised that they are now China crap also.
