A Chinese Duro-Test? EWWWW!
Sadly, even Duro-Test nowadays is infected with the Chinese junk. It is not even the real Duro-Test, it was revived by the new Westinghouse company so most bulbs are naturally Chinese made. The real Duro-Test bulbs are still made under the Duro-Mex banner in Mexico for all of North America. I placed this junk next to an USA made one for comparasion, what do you think guys?

Visually the Bulb is Very Similar.....Quality of materials could be less in the Duplicate though....also i didn't know the Duro-Test Name Still Existed.

Yuck, Shocked I can't even look at the Chinese junk! Look how the shape of the envelope and can't even put the heat shield in straight! Not to outdone with the crooked filament mounting!

See? Imagine paying $6.50 for this junk?

I guess Abco likes to sell cheapo lamps using brands such as Westy and Durotest. Rolling Eyes

I read that Duro-Test is no more! The new fake Westy shut them down earlier this year.
