I haven't seen a Hungarian GE CFL in years. Haven't looked at anything

I retired from GE less than 5 years ago and their CFL factory in
Nagykanizsa was very healthy. You may be looking at consumer grade
spiral lamps, which I believe are mostly sourced from China.

Yep, all the spiral lamps, but also the (consumer-market) pin-base units
I've seen in the last 5 years or so have been Chinese.

A lot of really innovative stuff came out of Thorn, as it seems to me.

I agree.

They made what was probably the world's best H4 for awhile there.
