Very cool, thanks for sharing, Paul!

I've been pleased that more and more Amazon Basics and Amazon Essentials products have been getting made outside China. I hope they continue.

For Americans:
I found out that the Amazon basics Smart E12 bulbs are made in Thailand.
It connects to Alexa only.

So I’ve now found both a European bulb from IKEA and an American bulb from Amazon that’s made in Thailand. It seems that an LED lamp factory has opened in Thailand. This could perhaps be the company WIP.

For Europeans.
I found out that the Ikea Kajplats E27 470 lumens (part no. 006.113.07) is made in Thailand.
It connects to Matter.

NOTE, alle other Ikea Kajplats products and bulbs with higher lumens are made in China!

With all the over-regulation we have in the US, you'd think we could require that 1) country of origin is more prominently shown on packaging, and 2) that e-commerce sites allow you to filter searches on country of origin. Takes WAY too much work to find products like this.

Thanks for creating this site, it's a good start.
Don't believe what Amazon says - these are NOT made in USA. Look at the reviews of people who ordered them thinking they were. They were hoodwinked.

Yes, all made in China here in Europe.
Good that they are made in Mexico for the US!

I was pretty happy to see that Philips Hue bulbs for the US market are mostly made in Mexico now. Unfortunately I believe in European markets they're still made in China.

Almost impossible to find anything that's either 'Made in the UK' (I'm in the UK), or at least not 'Made in China'. Even more difficult to find RGB (LED) bulbs in that category.

Recently had two Energizer bulbs that faded and went dead after about two months (made in China), and several lava lamp bulbs (unbranded) that died after a few weeks (I think the longest one lasted about two months - again, made in China).

This is only for the US made models that are available in the USA. All the models available in Europe are made in China.
Just send it back!
