Chinese LPS is better than no LPS.
To be fair to the Chinese, if a market opens up again for LPS street lighting, I reckon they’d have it perfected within a couple of years!
We’ve all seen the posts on here when Philips announced the end of SOX, and the input James provided, so the fact the Chinese actually got a working lamp in the first place is a feat in itself!
And you can’t deny Chinese lamp factories, during the CFL years when consumers were not happy about the high prices of European lamps, stripped out quality to a minimum and STILL came out with a decent lamp in the Genie!, (how many Genies do people remember that failed early)?, I certainly never had one?
And even now with LED, the Chinese have made huge strides in filament lamps technology in 10 years, while still lowering the price of the product to the consumer!
All in all, I don’t think it would take them long to perfect the old LPS lamp?
