I'm not 100% but I don't believe that any leds themselves are made in the USA. Japan, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and South Korea is where all leds are packaged as far as I know.

I'm not meaning fixtures. We manufacture in the USA. I'm talking about producing the actual light emitting diodes themselves. They are not packaged in the US. As far as I know only Lumileds and Cree have reactors here. They still send them overseas for packaging.....By packaging I mean putting the die into the chip.

I was about to say, I think Cree is an American company.

Cree spent 10s of millions from what I understand trying to figure out packaging. They ended up staying with China. Apparently it's a steep learning curve. That's why the 25% Tariff on leds really hurts. Butttt Samsung, Seoul, and select Lumileds and Osram will be made outside of China. Not in the US though.

Yes, ironic how how these tariffs on China are going to hurt every company that manufactures there. Including American companies.

Interesting (or not) fact: "Corea" is the original spelling of "Korea". Many Koreans continue to spell it that way claiming Japan changed the name when it annexed the peninsular so that "Korea" came after "Japan" in the alphabetical list of nations.

Actually, even further back, it was “Goryeo” and Japan’s actual name is Nippon/Nihon.Interesting (or not) fact: "Corea" is the original spelling of "Korea".

Indeed! But the above is also the reason a lot of languages other than English still spell it "Corea".

Real life fact. English or Korea is the 2nd(only by a few million) most spoken language worldwide and not to Koreans.Interesting (or not) fact: "Corea" is the original spelling of "Korea".

It's not ironic, that's the intent. Manufacture your shit in America, instead of having slaves do it overseas.
