I think the only US made CFL's these days are LOA which are made very
poorly, likely to compete in price.

What about GE?

Most of mine are GE spiral except for one that looks like GE with a
generic brand. Except for the one I dropped (and it's schematic is in
the FAQs, thank you!), they have been reliable with no failures so far.
However, I only use them in fixtures that tend to be on for multiple
hours a day, but not in the bathroom.

I asked because I shall be meeting my GE colleague next week, and I
don't have to pass on bad news. (;-)

The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
The bad news is that everything is prohibited.
