Electronics products...where are they made/designed?
floobydust:
Philips LED bulbs were really good, especially CRI but long gone to extra cheapsville. I have a bunch that failed, electrolytic baked and dried up or open LED's, they didn't last more than 1-1/2years night time use. They just run too hot, even worse than older ones. Philips changed to a single COB in all their spots, even past 15W and hurrah you get a dot of bright light. Older spots were an array of like 2835's and very nice, wide angle.

OK, we forget that the Chinese are good hard working people, honest and kindred spirits. Decent upstanding , hard working people who have a better sense of community towards each other , and others, than we westerners. They are not as greedy as us westerners. They are more moral.
They havent been treated too well by the west in the past either...
They dont owe the west anything.....if I am a Chinese guy and some westerner comes to me telling me to design and make his electronics and make him rich......then i maybe think, well, i'll design you some dodgy electronics so you go out of business...then ill find a different westerner (who i can pay much less) to sell the products to your western market, whilst you have gone out of business selling the dodgy stuff that i deliberately designed dodgy for you.....
So how do Western middle men avoid this type of thing when they try and get products designed and built in China for their western market? Or dont they?...maybe a great many go to the wall?...maybe the Gtech's are the minority who somehow manage to do it and survive?
Surely the electronics designer is king? Surely the western middle man treads a dangerous path? Most are selling Chinese stuff that they have no clue how to evaluate the schematic of.......i've worked for western middle men of electronics who didnt know what a linear regulator was.

No it's treez. I don't know why he keeps changing his name. I thought you have to ask a moderator to do that? If so, I don't see a problem with someone occassionally changing their name, or just doing so slightly, like I did, but doing it every month is annoying.

'ocset' was the treez name change. Faringdon is a duplicate membership.

Do the moderators know?
Sock puppetry is normally against the rules on all forums I've been part of. Is that not the case here?
Gyro:
Err, sometimes it appears, it seems to depend on how many socks you are wearing at any one time...
