I could have bought two LED
lights from American vendors 10 years ago for about $50. Instead, I
bought 35 different cheap LED lights from China for the same price.

Right. Those LED lights on Ebay weren't even available in shops in the west ten years ago. Now they finally are, but still at a humped up price. Expect some to fail, but most won't. I've been reading my kindle under the same Chinese "warm white" lamp for probably eight years.
