I thought it stood for ALTO, as recently I got a 20 watt NON Alto Phillips 5000K color lamp and it did not have green end caps. Well, I could always use a permanent black marker and give them BLACK ends........      Powell

Here in the USA almost all Philips fluorescents are USA made. A few types such as the modern T5s and F15T8s.are made in Holland. GE is mostly USA made, some come from Hungary. Osram Sylvania is all North America, mostly USA, some from Canada and Mexico. SLI fluorescents are German.

GE is Hungary, normally. Sylvania is always Germany, within the EU. Also, you can get the 2ft 18w ones here for under £2, Sylvania Deluxe.
