Indonesian VS Hungary made F15T8 Reveal « on: November 07, 2012, 11:42:21 AM » Author: Powell
Indonesian lamp is of much inferior quality.  Most of them had the etch ( er stamp) faded or smudged and some had poorly installed end caps.  I compared the lamps in the 15 watt "baby shoplight" and the Indonesian bulb "color" is nowhere close to the Hunararian one. It's MUCH warmer and pinker.

So much for quality. 

I tried taking a picture but they look the same in the picture.

As i see it GE Hungary is basically Tungsram, so quality to expect

For the picture dont picture the lamps. Instead partition the view (as in : shoot into 2 rooms) each lit with a lamp, to see how the colors of stuff in there are rendered

Indonesian and Thailand quality is far better than PRC product, they do last quite well, and are a decent lamp. The Hungarian, the Dutch, the French and the Polish lamps are by far the best. I have a few of each, and use the cheaper Indonesian/Thailand lamps as general purpose lamps, keeping the quality lamps for special applications. As the one lamp in a fixture goes EOL I either group relamp and change to the new daylight from warm white ( keeping the working ones as spot replacements for others of the same colour temp) or do a spot replacement with old tubes.

The Indonesian made GE lamps are far worse than some of the Chinese ones I have.  Most of them do NOT come close to the 7500 rated hours, but doing CLOSE to 5000 at 24/7. And then there are the 3 or so I had to return as the end caps fell off.
