I can second the "shorter" thing from the European side of the planet....

Chinese Osram L 36W T8 really are 1..2 mm shorter than German Osram L 36W T8

With manufacturing being diverted over to China, you'll never know what you get, I bought a f15t8 tube from Wal mart and it had an indentation in the glass as if it melted. I threw the tube out due to EOL (dang Indonesian tubes). It went Mercury starved.
