Chinese GE vs USA made GE daylight F15T8's

This is in lamp #2, and Lamp #3 out of 5 on my 8 foot table. Lamp #3 being the
middle lamp/Chinese F15T8. I've used the Chinese GE F15T8 almost the same amount
of time I've used all 3 GE USA made lamps I have on this table. The Chinese made one is
holding up very well so far despite all of the constant on and off switching
these lamps have taken.
This is a "Mirror image." The Chinese lamp should be on the right, not left. But whatever.

Be interesting to see how long both last.

We do not have to agree on anything to be kind to one another. The ability to be civil is available to everyone on earth, for free.

All three GE USA made F15T8 Daylight lamps went EOL... so the lamp to the right went EOL. The Chinese lamp to the left was actually
the only one on my table to survive. I made a video of the lights... a "before" video, with my table and couch completely dirty
with bags from stores and mail everywhere. https://www.lighting-gallery.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastcom&cat=10658&pos=4&pid=150089
I'm working on an "after" video, since I've recently cleaned up my living room completely, and replaced all of these lamps with cool white
Sylvania F15T12's.
